Your top-fifteen podcast formerly known as The Lever is back as Shameless Animals, as we catalogue our collective flawed attempts to be human. We are still exploring pressure points of the modern world -- the song isn't as good yet but our sense of purpose is as strong as ever.

In this episode Dr Darren Fisher is with us, leading us through his own creative practice and research into how drawing can make us happier, more calm, more creative and more able to take on life's challenges. So the spirit of The Lever is alive and well. 

This time we have a Youtube channel, where Darren takes us through some time lapse animations of his drawing practice -- fascinating stuff. And we talk through a bunch of associated creative practice matters. You can view the full episode here

Keep up with Darren's own Youtube channel here, and a full account of his past and present creative projects on his website here.

Tell us about your own creative practice and how it helps you at shamelessanimalsmedia@gmail.com, and we might mention you in a future episode.

This podcast is probably produced on the stolen land of the Wurundjeri, Boonwurrung and Woi Wurrung language groups of the Kulin Nation. Sovereignty was never ceded we just got in there eh.
