Feeling stuck in a rut? Hey, it happens. But there are a few podcasts that can help you find that spark again, whether it’s personally, professionally or somewhere in between. Give a few of these a try, and jumpstart your creativity.
You don’t have to be a musician – or even a fan of the musicians featured – to fall in love with the sonic deep dive that is the
Song Exploder podcast. During each brief episode, a musician (and his or her collaborators) dissect every bit of a song, from inspiration to demos to production and beyond. It’s a privileged look at the creative process that will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to get back to your own projects.
Listen.
What’s the big idea? That’s the essential question behind
How I Built This with Guy Raz. The NPR host talks with the founders of some of the world’s most innovative companies. A skilled interviewer, Raz gets his subjects to open up about big dreams, early disappointments, tough challenges and much more. You’ll find that sometimes even the biggest ideas start out very small.
Listen.
Instagram is one of the biggest social media platforms, with more than 500 million people using the photo-sharing app on a daily basis. So it deserves its own podcast, right?
Hashtagged Podcast, hosted by Jordan Peters, features freewheeling chats with the most interesting members of the Instagram community. Peters is a photographer, so much of the ‘cast is devoted to the visual side of things, but you’ll also get tips and tricks for building (and keeping) a following and growing community.
Listen.
You know TED Talks. Get to know the
TED Radio Hour – the more commute-friendly side of TED. At its base level, each episode is about problems and solutions, as inspiring speakers walk you through their unique processes and paths to success. If these podcasts don’t do at least a little bit to help get your creative juices flowing, there might be something wrong!
Listen.
Find your inner super hero – creatively speaking, that is. The absorbing
Becoming Supherhuman podcast showcases those remarkable people who have achieved "superhuman" performance in their fields. You’ll get valuable insights into how their work and lives intersect (or don’t intersect), and how they keep things fresh, no matter where they end up. The impossible is possible!
