The Circle 5 Podcast

The Circle 5 Podcast

A podcast dedicated to conversations with artists and creative professionals focusing on the topic of work, life and creative balance. Each episode is structured around my personal experience and opinion that there are 5 “circles of relationships” that exist in a creative or artistic life. How do each of them impact an artist’s daily life and career? [Feedback is welcome! If you have any questions, comments or to suggest a great guest for Circle 5, please email me - Mallury Patrick Pollard - mallury@circle5podcast.com. I’d love to have you on to share your story, thoughts and experiences.]

Two for one!

Fun time doing something new for the podcast: hosting two guests at once. I really enjoyed my conversation with writers Terena Elizabeth Bell and David Scott Hay, learning about their individual experiences as well as their shared connection with the Brooklyn based publisher, Whiskey Tit.

Welcome to something new for The Circle 5 Podcast: a “short form” episode! Only 37 minutes, but still full of good stuff (I think ). I hope you enjoy! Great to catch up and record with my friend, Kristin Johansen - Actor, Voice Actor from LA. We had a fun time recording live in close quarters 😅.

It’s been a long time coming…


My 2022 episodes are all finally published (oh my), but it was well worth the wait to share my conversation with Caitlin Kelly: my first guest that was an acquaintance that agreed to be on the ‘cast! I hope she’s now a friend for years to come. It was quite a treat and blessing to chat with her because she is a very accomplished professional/journalist/writer/writing coach/author… Just have a list...

To break my content publishing drought, I decided to share my uninvited thoughts on the infamous Kanye West, based on my (few) commonalities with the mega personality. Time is flying and my mind has been so fogged - I misquote the date of my own content! My IG rant was in December 2022, not January 2023. Also, I reference a YouTube video that was sent to where Kanye comments on his own behavior. That video can be found here: https...

Welcome to a new episode type for the podcast: a “Circle 6” segment. These episodes will be a chance for me to tell some personal stories and share some thoughts on the world overall. I know, just what everyone needs, another person's opinion. I hope you'll still give it a listen :) 

Since the podcast is called Circle 5, a Circle 6 segment is based on the idea that I have a 6th circle of relationships as an artist and human be...
