Welcome to
Creative Guts 

Nonprofit | Podcast | Community

Creative Guts is on a mission to awaken creativity within people of all ages by curating an environment for connection, collaboration, and the opportunity for gutsy creatives to share their stories with the world.

 

We do this through programs, zines, events, and a podcast that is focused on the pursuit of creativity.

Creative Guts is an interview-style podcast that explores the roots of creativity, dives into creators' hearts, and discovers how creativity connects with the world around us. Hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman began the Creative Guts Podcast in the spring of 2019, interviewing creatives from all disciplines and releasing free episodes. Becki Barsi join the hosting team in 2024.

We interview all types of creatives, many of whom are based in New Hampshire. Aside from listening to these episodes on our website, you can also listen to them on all major podcast platforms. We hope you enjoy!
