S4E9 - Creatives' Pier - June '25

Creatives' Pier - June '25

In this episode, Scott is joined by co-host Jarrett Moses and returners to the pod Doc Hero & Shawn Prez to talk about our Creatives’ Pier Outdoor Open Mic. The open mic experience was hosted by our Creatives’ Philly team on Tuesday June 10th at Venice Island Performing Arts Center located in the Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia.

The episode begins with some call backs to Season 2’s FOF Fest episode and lets the listener know about the incoming controversy on the episode. From there Jarrett and Scott talk about the shift made from incognito features to named closing features for each of the Creatives’ open mic events in 2025.

The middle of the episode focuses on each of the open mic performances that included a few regular attendees and quite a few first timers to the platform. There’s some special shoutouts to Philly based CHH artist Q-Flo from each guest.

The final third of the episode tells the story of Docs closing feature set. Included is Shawn’s secret plan for pyro during the set and the chaos that ensues. Shawn shares his preferred title for the episode “Police, Pudding & Pyro.” The squad wraps up the conversation talking about some of the frustration it caused, Venice’s response, and why forgiveness is so important in relationships. We hope you enjoy today’s episode.
