The Creative Cut Up podcast is a lively and honest space for storytellers that sits at the intersection of craft, business, and creative freedom.

Being an artist is hard AF, especially without purpose, community, and support. Join us weekly, where Felicia Pride and her co-hosts, Dria Roland and Georgette Pierre, talk shop and smack, share the good, the bad, and the ugly, and provide tangible tips to support your creative practice, your career, and your artist self.

In our premiere episode of The Creative Cut-Up, Felicia, Dria, and Georgette cut up about what they wish they knew before breaking into Hollywood.
