State of the Union – Details, episodes & analysis

State of the Union is a podcast from the Creative Workers Union, created for designers, illustrators, and creative professionals who are tired of pretending everything’s fine. Hosted by Josh Horton—founder of Creative Workers Union—this show features honest, unfiltered conversations about the realities of creative work: the wins, the losses, the fear, the breakthroughs, and the moments that make it all worth it. No posturing. No highlight reels. Just real stories from people who show up, do the work, and still believe in the power of community. If you’ve ever felt burned out, stuck, overlooked, or on the edge of giving up, this podcast is for you. Let’s talk about what’s really going on—and how we move forward, together.
