Make Art Anyway — Becky Franzel on Creative Philosophy & Having Fun With It | The Sonic Road

Check out the podcast deep dive here: www.thesonicroad.com Beau and returning guest Becky Franzel — Milwaukee author, indie publisher, and lifelong rock fan — on one of the most important things any creative person can hear: make the art anyway. Fuck around. Have fun. In a world that constantly measures creative output against metrics, algorithms, streaming numbers, and commercial viability, Becky makes the case for something simpler — creating because you have to, experimenting because it's interesting, and approaching the whole thing with a sense of play rather than pressure. It's a perspective that runs through everything Becky does — from her books to her independent publishing house Aw Shucks! Publishing, to the weekly writing group she hosts at Lion's Tooth bookstore in Milwaukee's Bay View neighborhood. Make the thing. See what happens. Don't wait for permission or a perfect set of circumstances that may never arrive.
