A couple of years ago, my friend Paul Montgomery invited me to guest on his podcast, The Fuzzy Typewriter podcast. We had a good time, and Paul invited me back. He actually left the invitation open to return as often as I liked, which I thought was incredibly generous. Unfortunately, due to time constraints and (I believe) some technological issues, The Fuzzy Typewriter temporarily faded into the background.
But it was not forgotten. Not by me, not by Paul, and not by our friends on Twitter who would occasionally suggest, “hey, when are you guys going to do another podcast?”
And now, I’m very pleased to say, the Fuzzy Typewriter is back—with some snazzy new artwork by Blair Campbell and a new mission statement to “love what you love.” Paul has graciously allowed me to share the airwaves with him once again, and I think we’re churning out some fun discussions. The concept of “love what you love” is important to me. The podcast focuses on art, artists, stories and storytellers, but we tend to shy away from cynicism and snark, two things found so often on the internet. Life is too short. Paul and I love stories. We consume them, we create them, and the Fuzzy Typewriter podcast lovingly reflects that. In the first few episodes we tackle the launch of the Marvel/Icon comic book series, SCARLET; the Christopher Nolan-helmed, summer blockbuster, INCEPTION; and the Bravo reality TV series, WORK OF ART—which serves as a launching point for a deeper discussion about the process of artistic collaboration.
Check out the newly returned FUZZY TYPEWRITER podcast! I’m thrilled to be chatting about art and creativity with my pal Paul “P-Money” Montgomery.
