Faster. Cheaper. More efficient. That’s the mantra driving much of our world today - but should it apply to creativity? In this episode of Creativity: Uncovered, Abi Gatling speaks with Jesse Feister, Executive Director of Webby Media Group, to explore what happens to creativity and craft in a world obsessed with speed and automation. Can creativity survive without compromise? And what do we lose when we skip the struggle?



Tune into this episode of Creativity: Uncovered to hear about:


  • The difference between creativity and craft in a high-speed world

  • How AI and technology may be raising the standard, not lowering the bar

  • Why craft “resists efficiency” - and why that matters

  • What we might lose when we remove effort from the creative process

  • Whether machines could ever truly replicate human craft

  • The evolving definition of excellence in the digital age

  • The increased emphasis on human connection and authenticity

  • The role of awards like the Webbys in celebrating (and defending) creative integrity



Happy listening!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
