There's a force at work that keeps you from being you. We feel it, too. It's the reason we avoid making the call, the reason we put off the diet. It's why we've done nothing about that entrepreneurial idea, that creative endeavor, that new relationship. In his book The War of Art, Steven Pressfield defines this universal force as Resistance. Welcome to The Resistance, a new podcast featuring honest interviews with creative persons about this force and the forms it takes.
Actor Stephen Tracey (Invasion, Anne with an E) joins The Resistance to talk about finding flow in the work, the surprising echoes between his roles and his own life, and why he feels drawn to create something from his own point of view.
Acclaimed singer-songwriter Rachael Yamagata talks about her new album 'Starlit Alchemy', the healing power of creativity, and how transformation often begins with surrender.
From smash hits like "Luka" and "Tom’s Diner" to her new album Flying With Angels, Suzanne Vega reflects on journaling as survival and how, even after four decades, she’s still discovering new depths in her songwriting.
