If people are born into a creative life, what is it that draws them to one art over another? If the fates had been different, what creative domain would a person choose? Pat and James both believe that they were slated to do something creative in their lives and discuss what that means. The talk widens to people who are stars in one creative field and very accomplished artists in another. Unfortunately, James’s one-sided bromance with Ben Shattuck brings things to an ignominious close.
Questions for Listeners:
Are you creative-fluid?
What field do you work in?
If you were going to do something else, what would you choose?
