On Earthworks, I share the stories of musicians, game designers, painters, writers, and others who are using their creative skills to make their world - and therefore our collective world - better. Every other week, we talk about their process, their challenges, how they got the resources they needed, and their vision for what comes next.
Whether you're a creative type already engaged with nature and climate or just wondering how you could, Earthworks offers inspiration and insight for your own work.

Earlier this year, I was trying to decide what my next creative project would be (another book or game? An augmented reality app that shows you the full supply chain of an item you’re about to buy? So many options! So little time!). For some guidance and inspiration, I started talking to people who do things that I admire, and after a while I thought that other people might find these conversations helpful too.
So I started recording, and this podcast series is the result.
