== Podcast Recommendation ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. Yep. Speaking of supporting something awesome, Myke, I'm pretty excited about this next link in the show notes. I want you to tell me all about it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' We have mentioned a few times on this show about the wonderful podcast, Make Do, which is hosted by Julia Scott and Tiff Arment, which is all about creativity. So, actually, let me say this and then I can launch into my little thing that I've been thinking about. So, Make Do has joined Relay FM. We're super excited about this. So, Make Do is now a Relay FM show. We came together and just realized this is something that we super wanted to do because I love their show. They love what we do. Tiff and Julia, they are longtime members of the Pan Addict family. So, it felt like a real natural thing for this show to become a part of Relay FM. And one of the reasons for that is something that I've been thinking a lot about recently is that Relay FM kind of has three core themes. It's how we kind of think of ourselves. And if you have bought the Relay FM Challenge Coin, which is a thing that exists right now, by the way, in case you didn't know. I have one. Do you? Do you like it? It's great, right? It's really big and heavy. I like it. It's perfect. So, we have three themes. Creativity, curiosity, and obsession. They're kind of the three themes that something runs through each of our shows that links up with this in some way. That's kind of a big thing for us. And if a show fits these ideas, it's a perfect fit for us. So, I can't think of really any show that I know that looks at creativity in the way that Make Do does. It's what the show is about. It is about creativity. It's about how it's expressed through different types of art. You know, whether you're a painter or a potter, remaker. Potter? What is it? What do you call somebody who makes pots? Is it a potter remaker or a potter? Like a Harry Potter? Anyway. I think yes to all. A sculptor or even if you're just an aspiring artist or you have any type of creative project, Make Do really can help inspire you that is so supportive of each other and the community, Julia and Tiff are. And I just find their show, one of the shows that I listen to to give me some moment of peace and bliss in my life. There's so much stuff that happens in our daily lives, maybe now more than ever. That can cause stress. But Make Do is one of the shows that I listen to to provide me with some peace. And I think that it is great for that because it is a wonderful show about creativity and supporting each other. So if you are a creative person, you definitely are if you're listening to this show in some way. I really, really want you to go and check out Make Do. They have a selection of episodes that you can go and check out. I will recommend a couple. I really enjoyed their episode about Inktober. I really enjoyed their challenges episode as well. So that's episode 15 and 10. And I'll put those in the show notes. You can check those out and it's going to give you a good idea as to what the show is about if you've never heard it before. But please go support this new addition to RelayFM. I think this is something that the pen addict audience would especially enjoy. So that's at Relay.FM slash Make Do.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I mean, just look at the artwork, right? The podcast artwork is amazing. If I can add a couple of things. I am lucky to have people like Tiffany and Julia in my life. They make it better for lots of reasons, not just because they have a great podcast, but because they're very good friends. And, you know, they're the type of friends I want in my life. I like them better than Myke, both. That's fine. They rank ahead of him. So, no, I'm just kidding. It's fine. It's fine. I'll take it. No, I'm just – it's really, really cool to have them part of RelayFM now, even though I've known them for years and years and have listened to the podcast from the beginning. I think – I love the topics that they talk about. They talk about imposter syndrome a lot.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Which is something that, you know, a lot of us who make things struggle with and they talk about feelings a lot, you know, like these are all things I enjoy. That's why I enjoy spending time with them when I see them in person just because we can talk about these things, about making things and the challenges that come along with them. And you don't have to be an artist or a creator to get something from the topics that they discuss. It's just a really, really good show. So, I'm glad they're officially part of the team now, even though they have been for quite some time.
