Surviving the Season: Creativity, Commitments and the Human Need to Gather

Lyndon and Breallyn mark their 50th episode with a low-key celebration and turn their attention to the crush of Christmas - end-of-year events, family gatherings, school break-ups, gifts, obligations, all piling into the calendar. They talk about how these commitments can derail creative routines, unsettle the rhythm of the work, and crowd out the hours artists fight to protect. But they also trace the other side of it: why these occasions exist, why humans need them, and how communal moments—messy as they can be - remain vital to our wellbeing.
