Creative Adventures - An accidental podcast

@stevexoh

Arts

Frequency: 1 episode/21d. Total Eps: 7

A monthly podcast in which artist @stevexoh follows a fascinating and wonky chain of thought that meanders through creativity, philosophy, psychology, nature, neurodiversity, mental health, creatures, wonder, and whatever weird project is consuming his attention at the time.

Steve originally set out to create an accessible audio version of his Substack but quickly realised he had accidentally started a podcast.

“Ruminations on the turning of the seasons, creativity and neurodiversity, all to the tune of birdsong. Lovely.” — Podcast Rex

Episode #2: The union of onions, the trouble with windows and the importance of niche environments and reasonable adjustments

Season 1 · Episode 2

Saturday, August 30, 2025 • Duration 37:37

In this episode I enjoy following the random gifts of a dyslexic mind and reflect on some of the comments that people made about my "create windows into your world" philosophy in episode one.

I also explore the idea of "niche environments" and "reasonable adjustments" as important considerations for anyone wanting to nurture their own spontaneous self-expression.

Episode #1: An accidental podcast, the carcinisation of tech and four lightly held philosophies for living a creative life

Season 1 · Episode 1

Saturday, August 23, 2025 • Duration 33:34

In this episode I realise that in attempting to make an accessible audio version of my Substack that I have accidentally created a podcast. Maybe.

I also consider the idea that all apps and digital platforms are evolving to eventually become the same thing (a bit like the evolutionary theory of carcinisation where everything becomes a crab) and I share my "Four lightly held philosophies for living a creative life" from an article I forgot I wrote a number of years back.

TL;DL
1' 01" The carcinisation of tech
2' 23" The accidental podcast
11' 07" Four lightly held philosophies
