About The Show

"A podcast about making things up and making things happen." L.A.-based writer-performer Dennis Hensley believes art and creativity make like worth living. Each week, he interviews a different creative person, many of them LGBT, about what they do, why they do it, and how they manage the ups and downs of a creative life. Past guests have included authors, actors, photographers, musicians, screenwriters, acrobats and one visual artist who makes cartoons centered around dead houseflies.
