Follow Your Curiosity is a podcast about creativity—how it works, how it shows up in real life, and how people find their way into it.
Each episode is an unscripted, curiosity-driven conversation. We start at the beginning and see where the story, the connections, and the questions take us.
Twice a month, you’ll hear in-depth conversations with people from all kinds of backgrounds about their creative lives: how they got started, what shaped them, and what they’ve discovered along the way. Some guests are widely known, others less so—but all of them offer a window into the many different ways creativity works and what it means to the people living it.
In the alternating weeks, you’ll hear short Creative Pep Talk episodes with ideas, tools, or reflections you can take into your own creative life.
Following my own curiosity sometimes leads me into unexpected places—including conversations connected to Doctor Who and the people who bring those stories to life, in front of and behind the scenes.
Every episode stands on its own, so you can start wherever you like.

Author Nancy Springer has written more than 50 books, in genres ranging from mythic fantasy to magical realism to mystery. Her most popular novels by far are the Enola Holmes mysteries, featuring Sherlock's younger sister, the first of which is now a movie on Netflix. Nancy has often said that writing saved her life, and our conversation gets into the nitty gritty of just what that means, as well as her "free-range" childhood, what works in a novel that doesn't in a short story (and vice versa), writing a novel with no idea where you're going, and more. (Warning: Nancy's very open about her history with depression and suicidal ideation in this conversation.)
