Taking Creative License with Mike Casey
LINK TO SHOW:
Taking Creative License with Mike Casey | RSS.com Taking Creative License can be found on most major podcasting services! Come join us for in depth discussion and the odd joke or two! Small moments in our lives often create the people we become. These same small moments can ripple to become world-changing or at least life-changing. On TCL, we will dive into the lives, hearts, and minds of people in the creative arts from all over the world and discover how each feels their art may affect the lives of others. Main episodes drop on Wednesdays bi-weekly, and Sandwich Monologues, discussing topics having to do with creativity and the human self, will happen in the in-between weeks. What do you have to say about creativity? Want to hear a topic discussed or an artist interviewed? Email me at [email protected]! |

Taking Creative License Episode 1: Mike Casey and The Journey To Podcast Land
Here we are. This is not something I expected to do! But a spark of an idea caught fire in my mind, inspired by stellar podcast hosts Jamie Lidell (Hanging Out With Audiophiles) and Richard Schrieber (The Richard Schrieber Show). Links to their sites below. As Jamie would say, ''let's get on with the show!"
This week, I start with a guest host - MARVELous Nerdcast co-host, Emily Annesty! Emily interviews little ol' me, and we delve into topics ranging from my musical upbringing to obstacles I regularly lay in my own way...and how am I like the great George Lucas!?!?
Hope you enjoy getting to know your host...I certainly enjoy spending this time with you!
If you want to drop us a note, email me at [email protected].
Socials will be up and running soon! Probably by the time this episode drops, even!
To all - HAND, and I'll see ya soon!

TCL: Sandwich Monologue 001: The Strange Case of Fun v Joy
This week, with a bit of a raspy throat, I discuss one of my favorite subjects for the first Sandwich Monologue.
Fun and Joy are two words that are often used interchangeably, but truly mean very different things!
How does Nintendo relate to egg noodles and Italian dressing!?!?!? Listen and see!
HAND, and have a great calendar week!

Taking Creative License Episode 2: Shelby Logan Warne and The Journey of Discovery
Howdy, Humans!
A little late, but it’ll be worth it! Storms, sickness and all postponed posting of the pod. But here we are!
This week, I am joined by the warm, funny, generous, and ridiculously talented and driven Shelby Logan Warne!
Shelby is the General Manager of Old Street Studios, London, and a Mixing/Engineering BEAST. She is also the lead singer, keyboardist, and a primary songwriter of White Star Records prog rock outfit KYROS. The amount of awesomeness following this human is immeasurable, and I’m sure you’ll find her to be engaging and amazingly generous with her story.
We delve into creative blocks, finding and coming to terms with her inner self, kindness in professionalism, imposter syndrome…all sorts of awesome topics.
As always, hit me up at the info below, and check the links for cool stuff!

TCL: Sandwich Monologue 002: Just Hammering & Sawing
From the road!
Welcome to the worksite, humans. Hope you brought your hard hats!
This week we discuss the imbalanced weight that people place on talent versus good old-fashioned work.
This is something that I have to remind myself every so often - the people that show up and do the job are usually the ones who succeed in the end.

Taking Creative License Episode 3: Dr. Gene Fambrough and The Way of The Drum
Dr. Gene Fambrough is a cool dude. Period. I've met very few people who have such a come-one-come-all vibe. His story, for this telling, anyway, is a story of a budding young musician who just liked to try things who then grew up to inspire others to do the same. I know you'll enjoy the talk! Have a great week, and thank you for just your being you! 143 a tutti!
As always, please share, like, subscribe...all the usuals!

TCL: Sandwich Monologue 003: Always Meet Your Heroes (They're People, Too!)
This week, I'd like to take a moment to encourage you to reach out to those artists and creators that are important to you in your development but may not know it.
I discuss this topic, and how it's been present in my life for the last 20 years. The people that create the art you love started the same place you started...regardless of the talent (see SM002 to hear how I feel about that) or skill they've achieved - they are humans, just like you!

Taking Creative License Episode 4: Zack Annesty and The Breaking Of the Rules
I think you're going to dig this one - My dear friend, Zack Annesty has a lot of great credits to his name as he's moved up the ladder at Marvel Studios. He's also worked with the DC television universe and several other notable projects. He's a busy guy!
Here, we talk about the path that led him to where he is now. We also dig into some of the changes that have some in the industry in terms of worker safety, and what needs to come, still. This is a huge deal to him as he moves his career forward, and he is always an advocate for the lives and safety of those on set.
Lots to digest here! Enjoy it!
