How those lips can talk! Beholder Podcast Beholder Podcast You are listening to Beholder Podcast, conversations with creatives for creatives. The only way we, as creatives, know how to express ourselves, so that someone may potentially understand, is through our creativity, our music, our art, things that are aesthetically pleasing, things that are beautiful. Our creations are extensions of our inner self expressed outward. But even when we lay our innards out on the table, fully exposed, others pick apart and piece our work together how they see fit. They do not seek to understand the creator as much as they seek to understand who they are within the creation.This realization is why Beholder Podcast exists, to help bridge the relationship between creator and observer, because the better we understand the creator, the better we understand the creation, and ultimately, the better we understand ourselves. Making Conversation Making Co. Making Conversation is where creativity meets real talk. We’re all about celebrating the makers, fiber artists, and creatives who bring their unique stories to the table—no matter the medium. From knitting to crocheting to spinning, each episode dives into the passions, challenges, and journeys that drive their creative work. We get to know the people behind the projects, exploring the funny, heartfelt, and inspiring moments you won’t find just scrolling through their social media. Along the way, we’ll chat about the things that matter—diversity, inclusion, and the power of community in the making world. Grab your WIP, tune in, and get ready for some good conversations with amazing people!
