Listen To The Show
Am I losing my ambition? And did I ever really have it?
That question had been sitting in my phone notes for months. Breallyn had no idea I was bringing it until the mics were on.
We pull apart the difference between a dream and an ambition, what it means to reconcile your past while you move into your future and why changing course can feel exactly like giving up when it isn't.
But before any of that, there's a birthday weekend in Bendigo involving a bookbinding workshop, an Airbnb review spiral and a half-hour hunt for a public toilet that Breallyn declared would never make it into the podcast. It made it in.
You might want to listen if:
• The thing you used to chase doesn't quite fit the person you are now
• Changing direction in your creative life feels a bit like quitting
• You keep measuring yourself against people who found their thing much sooner in life

— The Podcast
So what is it exactly?
Pain In The Arts is a weekly podcast about the reality of making things – the breakthroughs, the false starts, the imposter syndrome and the inevitable triumph that makes it all worth it.
Each week, one of us brings a topic. The other finds out what it is at the same time you do. No scripts. Just a genuine conversation about the creative life we’re actually living.
Hosted by Breallyn and Lyndon – a novelist-in-progress and a music producer – the show has a format we’ve never heard anywhere else.
New episodes every Tuesday, wherever you listen.
