Love the diversity of topics and guests. I quite enjoy the occasional off topic conversation that really lets us know the speaker on a more personal level.

Ethan talks about really great subjects in this podcast and has knowledgeable guests. He talks about all the things I wish I had been taught before I had to learn the hard way.

The Paul Tazewell interview was yet another excellent and successful episode. They keep getting better and better. ARTISTIC FINANCE interviews with such successful designers like Paul makes it clear how important it is for young designers to really understand the BUSINESS of “Show Business”!

Open and honest conversations about finance. It’s never too late to get back on financial track.

Artists have strange relationships to money, and empowering ourselves with financial knowledge is how we get to keep doing our art. It’s so great to hear business advice from amazing professionals.

Much Like a TapDancing Turtle this podcast is unbelieveable. My years in The Arts has always had me stressed when it comes to finance and this show is an amazing asset to be able to allow the next generation to lean on the wisdom and knowledge of people who are beyond succeeding!

Love this podcast and its host! Really interesting to listen to the perspective of various artists in all fields. I’m a music director and an educator. Most students I work with do not know much about the business of the business.

Ethan’s charm is palpable. It’s refreshing to hear artists talking about finance in such a relaxed and casual way. More people in our industry need to let go of the stigma of talking about money.

We all like to talk about our art, but nobody likes to talk about the BUSINESS side of show business, and it is important, if you want to have things like food, and a roof over your head. Artistic Finance demystifys show business. Real working artists talk about their financial decisions,...Read full review »

This show is such a comfort, and is the antidote to competing with people’s public personas!

The stuff they never taught you in school. Essential if you are a serious established or aspiring lighting designer. Wish somebody was as forward thinking as this when I was a younger designer. Thanks Ethan.

This podcast is the most important theater podcast out there. The lack of open discussions about pay in the arts has led to brilliant creators being underpaid and financially burning out, denying the world so much beauty This podcast, thankfully, opens the doors wide open to have frank, honest,...Read full review »

Talk about a much needed podcast! Artists are generally NEVER taught about the business side of running their careers, leaving them vulnerable to all sorts of shenanigans. Any ONE of these episodes is a must listen for any and every artist. Ethan is a fantastic interviewer, and asks insightful,...Read full review »

A subject not covered often enough or well enough. This pod gives the creative community information in a thoughtful and engaging way. Any artist who wants to continue being creative, continue to eat and retire comfortably should subscribe and listen carefully.

It’s not often you get a show about finance from the perspective of people working in the arts. In fact, I don’t know of any others. Ethan is friendly and insightful while his guests are real people that share their life experience to help us. Great job!

This is an honest and deep dive into the financial world of creative artists. This tends to be a taboo subject, and it’s refreshing to have honest talks about money and the arts. Great podcast!

Great source for artists of all stripes - not just theatre artists - to learn what makes a career and how to survive, if not thrive, financially.
