It’s been a wild month, and it’s ironic that right before Halloween was my 13th episode. It’s interesting when your body just doesn’t want to listen to your nagging commands. Ultimately, the flesh wins out, and you are powerless to stop against its demand for your submission. That’s how it has felt the last few weeks. Like my body was pinning me down, demanding that I stop everything, or I’d be locked in a choke…
I feel like the real moments of truth happen at points where we are most vulnerable. I think it’s because those are the times where we really have to push ourselves to explore new territory and are more open to the elements. In the past few days, I’ve spent some time looking back at the major influences in my life that have impacted my music. The question that I’ve been left with is ‘when will…
It’s another quiet week at Tizzy Wire, mostly because my voice has been out of commission. Trying to get that back online so I can move the discussion forward. We managed to save the interview with our next guest–so all we need to do is finish the conversation! Mostly updates this week on music progress, movies, and future guests for the show. More coming soon!
In my life, no matter what phase I might be going through, the things that inspire me usually stay the same. And by things, I mean the methods. In other words, I may grow in and out of styles or subjects, but how I find structure and grounding stays the same. For me it’s solitude, and unobserved ‘musing.’ It’s hard for me to stay focused when there are outside distractions, but particularly when I want…
As I’m racing in between work, getting kids to bed, and eating that ceremonial bowl of ramen at 9PM, I have started to notice that adding a project on top of the standard regular life is a lot of work. Probably more work than I anticipated. And oddly enough, I haven’t really minded. I’ve loved every episode of this podcast, and it’s been thrilling meeting and talking to people about the project, both on and…
So remember when I said in the first episode that we would be talking about the movies that we make in this house? Well this is it! Welcome to our first (non-Dungeons & Dragons) episode with Charles Davis–the vision behind Chunkle Freaky’s Movies. Yes, that is the correct name for his company, and it perfectly fits the tone of all the things he creates. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the brain…
Back in the day, my husband and I made podcast series called Sci-Fi Radio Theater. Taking radio drama to the next step, one of the actors in that podcast has created her own radio drama–and the first episode is fantastic! A World Where is a dystopian vision of Ani Ryder & HK Goldstein, and as of the end of September, all 8 episodes will be live. I say it over and over during the interview, but…
Over the last few years, I’ve noticed a growing term that the internet generation likes to use to encapsulate the mundane work that is involved in being a responsible adult–in this case, it’s ‘Adulting.’ This can include the process of paying bills, daily commuting, day/night jobs, and taking care of the household. The fact that this term has surfaced now, of all times in our society, is pretty representative of how much the ‘moundane’ has…
As I’ve moved forward with this podcast, I occasionally have a moment where I think ‘I am getting better at this.’ Those moments are usually followed by a tremendous failure shortly thereafter. Such an occasion came up this week, as I embarked on my next interview. I took several days to plan this time, and tested the equipement extensively. The discussion was fantastic, and everything seemed to go smoothly–and then, at the very end of…
In my conversations with the creative community lately, I’ve become so inspired by the stories that are shared, especially on the topic of growth and identity. For so many of us, we get used to a certain version of ourselves, and then one day the shoe no longer fits. This isn’t exclusive to art, but it certainly applies to any creative medium, because that’s when it no longer feels ‘creative’ and instead feels more ‘comfortable.’ I…
