Feedback: ben@bentallon.comEp 301: Why Not? The essential role of facing the unknown and making from the heart
24/06/2026 | 40 mins.We live in a data-obsessed society. Trapped by the tools and addicted to certainty, too few of us are creating with bravery, daring to fail or f**k up.
I reflect on 11 years of podcasting following the 300th episode and share stories of finding out, getting it wrong, growing, and playing through curiosity.

Feedback: ben@bentallon.com Ep 300: Austin Kleon – Creating Like the Kids, how we can steal some of the magic we've surrendered
17/06/2026 | 1h 31 mins.Austin Kleon is a phenomenally successful author. His books, Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work, Keep Going, and now, Don't Call It Art, have sold in obscene numbers for a great reason: he brings immense value to the lives of people who wish to create something true to them.
For the 300th episode of The Creative Condition podcast, we're getting into everything that matters in this current, overwhelming moment, and the good news is, it's all very joyful!
Austin likes analog, and we talk about parenting, creativity, learning from four-year-olds, creating before we have an idea to get an idea, and so much more, including common mistakes even the greats make.

About The Creative Condition podcast
Welcome to 'The Creative Condition' podcast: an ongoing exploration of human creativity to help you navigate an increasingly automated world with your story and soul. The show is hosted by creativity coach, Founder of The Creative Condition, author and illustrator Ben Tallon. Creativity is an often misunderstood pillar of human happiness, something far bigger than artistic talent and crucial for fulfilling lives and careers. But in a data and efficiency-obsessed world, self-awareness, story and soul are more important than ever.
Featuring exclusive interviews with experts and thought leaders, including illustrators, designers, artists, founders, rock stars, sensitivity experts, musicians, emergency service workers, Olympic gold medal winners, comedians, microbiologists, photographers, fighters, and many others. Supported by founding sponsor Illustration X, Paradiso Institute the Ukrainian Institute.
