There’s something about the state of the world that parallels the creative process—a “spark” that was forcibly driven home...Read full review »

Susan and Laura are inspiring. And not in the way that we usually use the word inspiring --like, people we want to emulate (though they're that too.) But I mean that they actually inspire you to want to create. It's a true gift they have and I'm so glad this podcast exists.Read full review »

This podcast and Laura and Susan’s spark file concept is like being sat down and told, “you are not finished yet… you have things to do/make.” A great reminder and inspiration to dust it off, juice it up, and ‘just keep going’ towards your creative self. Inspirational and educational, this...Read full review »

Witty and authentic conversations between two creative friends are captured so all of us can benefit from their discoveries. Creators and learners alike will glean their own sparks from time well-spent in The Spark Files. From a soon-to-be “nine-ender,” thanks for sharing, Susan and Laura!

Listening to Susan and Laura discuss their sparks, their creativity, and their art is like snuggling up on the couch with your two smartest and wittiest friends with a cup of tea and comfy sweater. Amazing storytelling and interviews with makers. I can’t get enough of this podcast!

To say this is a “Must Listen” for anyone who creates is an understatement. It’s an ideal kindling to ignite the next project or endeavor.

Thank you both for starting this, have been craving something magical to help channel what lives in my head and goes soaring airily (if off key) through our home, down on paper, and baked in my oven. Looking forward to this!
