The critical creative

On calming the inner critic, inspired by Margaret Fuller.

What do Transcendentalism, the goddess Athena, and compliment sandwiches have in common? Find out in this episode about the duality of the critic (as informed by 19th-century journalist Margaret Fuller, pictured above), the gravity of practice, and how to find balance between your inner creative — and your inner critic.

Plus, an early tip-off for September’s Asynchronous Book Club theme, A Life’s Work, featuring three picks:

• The Odyssey by Lara Williams

• The Employees by Olga Ravn

• The Factory by Hiroko Oyamada

And here’s the full episode transcript, should you need it. <3
