Hey there. If you've ever watched, read or heard something truly astounding and found yourself

asking, how did they do it? Then you'll want to check out American Masters, Creative Spark.

American Masters, Creative Spark, is the chart-topping Webby Award-winning podcast from PBS's

American Masters, the legendary series that has set the gold standard for documentary film profiles for over 30 years.

Each week host Joe Skinner sits down for in-depth conversations with iconic artists,

cultural pioneers, and innovators to explore the creation of one standout work.

One episode I really think you'll enjoy is the recent one,

featuring Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter

Jewel. In this episode, she opens up about her latest project, The Portal, an art experience

by Jewel. The project is a unique fusion of art and healing, and it's a great example of how

creativity can intersect with mental wellness in powerful ways. American Masters Creative Spark also features other

incredible guests. For example, Tony Award winning actor Joseph Gordon Levitt discusses the spectrum of

realism while Oscar nominated actress Minnie Driver talks about her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth

the First in The Serpent Queen. Want to hear a taste of the show? I've got a 60 second preview right

here so you can get a feel for what's in store. Hey, this is Joe, host of American Master's

Creative Spark. If you're new here, I interview artists about how they make what they make

and why they do it. It sounds simple, and I guess it is, but I promise there's always something

resonant, universal

even, that can be taken away from everyone's process by what drives them to make the things

they make.

I feel really lucky to have so many guests on the show this year who've at one point

totally changed my life with their work.
