More on: Authenticity in art

The podcast episodes explore the theme of authenticity in art through the lens of various creative individuals, including actors, musicians, and writers.

A recurring emphasis is placed on the artists' dedication to staying true to themselves and their artistic vision, even when it may go against the grain of mainstream expectations or conventions.

For example, in the episode Sean Penn and the Squared-Away Individual, the actor discusses his commitment to creating work that transcends mere entertainment and instead reflects his authentic self. Similarly, in the episode AN INTERVENTION Ft. Alaska Thunderfuck, the drag performer Alaska Thunderfuck emphasizes the importance of developing a distinctive, authentic persona as an artist.

Other episodes, such as 24 Question Party People: Shannon Shaw of Shannon and the Clams and Orville Peck, further explore how artists can use their art as a means of personal expression and growth, embracing vulnerability and rejecting the notion of playing a character or adhering to strict conventions.
