Starving Artist is a podcast about art, money, and how to combine those things. If you’re a creative who’s ever wondered “how the hell do I make this work?!” then this podcast is for you. The show is basically an excuse for host and honesty enthusiast Honor Eastly to ask successful artists really nosy questions about their financial situation, and record the conversation.

This is a no-holds-barred exploration of the reality behind the Starving Artist myth, and season one features 12 interviews with some of Australia's most incisive young artists including Frances Cannon, Becky Sui Zhen, Abbey Rich, Wendy Syfret (i-D / VICE) and Steve Roggenbuck. The podcast takes us behind the curtain and into the machine room of contemporary artists, taking on everything from how to make a living from Instagram, how to negotiate a raise in the arts, to how to get out of your private freelancer tax shame.

Ep13: What did we learn?? Negotiation, faking it, and The Ultimate Truth

Steve Roggenbuck is an American video poet who’s most famous for his youtube videos, which really have to be seen to be believed. They’re feature mostly self-recorded footage of Steve walking through the snow, the desert, a park, his house, a party, and talking / yelling directly to camera. I remember finding his videos in the dead of night, while I was tooling around on my computer, procrastinating from work, and just feeling like I’d been dropped into a confusing, amazing, uplifting, and very weird part of the internet.

In this interview we talk about learning to be frugal, Steve’s unshakeable belief in himself, and why you should learn from tech bros about content marketing.

Ep12: Travelling the World as a YouTube Poet with Steve Roggenbuck

This week we've got a rebroadcast of an episode from the other podcast I make, Being Honest With My Ex, about quitting my job, imposter syndrome, and how you definitely don’t have the same amount of hours in the day as Beyonce.

Being Honest With My Ex is basically a weekly personal journal that I’ve been keeping with my ex-fiance for the past two years, and has ended up documenting each of our journeys of trying to make the art + money equation work for ourselves. If Starving Artist is the documentary series on making a living creatively, then Being Honest With My Ex is basically the live stream version. It’s the very up close, very intimate, the ugly-crying account of trying to make it work.

Buy tickets to the upcoming Being Honest With My Ex LIVE shows here. You can find the podcast at beinghonestwithmyex.com, and if you're looking for somewhere to start, check out the new listener guide.
