I’d Like My Crayons Back Episode 5 – Mead Making with Brandon and Lehel

Episode 5 in my podcast about creativity in all its forms is a very entertaining interview with two friends who have a shared interest in making mead. They talk about how they got started, the process, the supplies used, the fabulous flavors they have and plan yet to achieve. I laughed quite a bit, because these guys are funny, too!

I’d Like My Crayons Back Episode 2 – Josh Lounsberry

Before two upcoming (and the latest) episodes in my podcast, I figured I’d post episode 2 and 3 (2 here, 3 in a separate post). This is my interview of Josh Lounsberry, a young man with a heart hearkening back to bygone eras. His passion, among others, is for dyeing and spinning wool into yarn on antique spinning wheels. Not to sell it, but to instruct and inform others in demonstrations about the ways things were done in times past. History buff, me, I admire him for that, for sure.

Enjoy!

I’d Like My Crayons Back Episode 4 – Author Karen Katchur

I had a wonderful afternoon interviewing crime thriller author, Karen Katchur, and am posting a YouTube link to her interview below. I originally interviewed her on my blog back when her first book came out in 2015. Enjoy!

Karen is the author of two women’s fiction/mysteries set in the Pocono area, The Secrets of Lake Road and The Sisters of Blue Mountain. Her crime thriller series set in Northampton County consist of River Bodies, Cold Woods and Spring Girls. Her most recent, and somewhat darker novel (complete with some very dark humor) is entitled The Greedy Three, which is her personal favorite.

To learn more about Karen, go to her website, karenkatchur.com or look her up on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok, using karenkatchurauthor.

Here is the blog interview from 2015 with Karen Katchur.

I’d Like My Crayons Back – Episode 1 – Ron Probst of IHR Studios

I did say I’d post as new interviews for I’d Like My Crayons Back came out, but also that I’d post about the prior ones. Some of you may know that Ron is my brother, a very talented Mastering Engineer with his own studio, IHR Studios. I did interview him twice before but, you know, things change over time. Technique, information, goals. Life.

The first interview (blog post) can be found here.

The second was for my former podcast, Life As It Comes, which was audio only, and can be listened to on Spotify here.

As for the most recent video podcast, you can both watch and listen if you so desire, here:

And again, if you would like to be interviewed, please contact me with your name, email address, and a brief description of your creative endeavors using the form on the I’d Like My Crayons Back Contact Page in the dropdown menu above under “About”.

I’d Like My Crayons Back

“Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten. Then when you hit puberty, they take the crayons away… I’d like my crayons back, please.”
Hugh MacLeod – Ignore Everybody: and 39 Other Keys to Creativity

Last year (and after being a guest on several video podcasts myself), I decided I wanted to start a video podcast of my own. I’d already done a regular podcast (audio only) for a little while, but a face-to-face conversation seemed so much better. I wanted a podcast, I decided, to celebrate creativity in all its forms. I struggled with a name for it but finally settled on “I’d Like My Crayons Back.”
