Best episodes of Creative Type Podcast: Conversations for visual artists and art lovers

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Episode 35: Connecting with Your Art Collectors

A plainspoken reminder that collector relationships are built by staying present, not by making a pitch once.

It stays with one practical idea: keeping relationships with art collectors alive through genuine follow-up. Lori Rivera and Jamie Haney move from a recent show at Myriad Brewing into open studios, light refreshments, social media follow-through, and the value of knowing who to…

Episode 24: Painting Session in Jaime's Gardens, Part 1

A garden painting session that lets painters think out loud.

This garden painting session keeps the focus on how artists actually work: circling choices, revisiting color, and talking through the slower pace of making art outdoors.

Episode 29: How We Start Off A New Year

A New Year conversation that settles into art, taxes, and the practical details of an art club.

Creative Type Podcast starts with a New Year's Day check-in and eases into time, holiday stories, and the practical task of getting the year underway.

Episode 33: One Year Anniversary of CTP

A loose anniversary chat that settles on focus, not overextension.

The anniversary episode of Creative Type Podcast follows Lori Rivera and Jamie Haney as they look back on a year of the show and on episode 25, the one time they recorded in the same room.

Episode 30: Reference Photos and Where You Can Find Them

A practical reminder that reference images need care, credit, and basic common sense.

Reference photos are the focus, but Lori Rivera and Janie Haney keep the discussion easy to follow instead of turning it into a lecture. It moves from Flickr to Creative Commons and lands on a simple rule: check what can be used, then give credit when it is due.

Episode 25: Spreading Yourself Too Thin

A plainspoken take on art promotion, writing, and the strain of doing too much at once.

Keeping an art practice visible can begin to feel like a second job, and this episode stays with that strain. Lori Rivera and Jamie Haney talk through social media, blogs, website copy, and the slow labor of writing about finished pieces, with a clear sense that each artwork…

Episode 32: WordPress vs. FASO for Artist Websites

A practical artist-to-artist take on WordPress vs. FASO, with useful detail on organizing artwork online.

Creative Type Podcast uses Episode 32 to weigh a practical artist website choice: WordPress versus FASO. The discussion draws on the hosts' own experience with both, and it lingers on FASO's art database, with fields for title, inventory ID, location, sale status, price, size,…

Episode 38: How to Build Your Email List and Why It's Important

A plainspoken case for email as a channel artists can control, with practical advice on list-building and personal outreach.

Creative Type Podcast treats email like something listeners can actually keep control of, and it makes the argument without much fuss. It asks for a direct note to one person, a personal tone, and a nudge on social media before those platforms change or fade.
