Starving Artist Podcast

'Artists don't like to talk about money. Perhaps because they don't always make very much of it—or because they risk being dismissed as sellouts if they do.'

"What I find interesting about these conversations is that they very, very quickly stop being about money and start being about ethics, values, and priorities. How you live a good life and create art at the same time"

Honor Eastly is the podcast producer for the podcast series: Starving Artist. She was motivated by the haunting thought of child-bearing's financial effect into her job to financially support her children through making art or even attaining success in art before giving birth to a child. I completely understand where she comes from since making a living through art is not easy. Starving artist podcasts are not meant to be a formula of success, rather than how Honor follows her curiosity and finding out how different people do it.

As quoted above, although the podcasts tackles money matters, different artists have different ways of dealing with their financial obligations. The factors that surfaces when discussing this money issue is much profound because they start to bring in personal considerations, such as ethics, values, and priorities, into the discussion.
