Help I'm Creative

Olivia Peck

This is a podcast made for creatives who are seeking like-minded conversation in regards to just about anything. On this podcast I usually talk to my boyfriend, Jeff. Sometimes I'll bring on a guest! We talk about mental health, business, education, and just being alive. My name is Olivia Peck and I am a singing teacher, creative calamity, actress, and dabbler. I like to talk about things as much as I like doing things and that's why this podcast exists.

    Gaga Vibes

    One of my gorgeously creative roomies Erica Mioton and I talk paranormal activity, how to get rid of leg water weight, her many creative pursuits, how she maintains her mental health and so much more. My roomie is an introvert so there was a lot I didn't know about her prior to our fun convo! If you like true crime, science and ninja cats (who doesn't?!) you would get along with her very well. She's got so many little gems to share with the world, enjoy!

    Big Hats Resurrection

    In this Episode my former/current co-host of pod "Big Hats" - Eric Arnouville - pretty much ruins my life for an hour. We talk about Steve Miller band (again), I tell a very good ghost story and we talk about whether or not things are predetermined and Eric's experience as a music genius. FYI we attempted to record another ep of "Big Hats" Pod (that Eric is in charge of editing) but it may never see the light of day because of "technical reasons" in which you can and should harass Eric about through all of the platforms he is on: ogus.biz soundass.live nubley.net feckmusic.com http://sasquatchfever.com/

    My journalist sister Eva has lots of answers as to how podcasting works and what being a host means. Hopefully this episode helps any creatives who are tossing around the idea of making a podcast. We talk about who we are, what making a podcast entails, and I ask a lot of questions about what I am supposed to be doing as a host. Eva was my first guest on "Help! I'm Creative."
