A comedy adventure podcast investigating creativity.
Creative Beast takes an inventive, sideways glance at what it means to be creative, sometimes against the odds. What is this mysterious, powerful driving force; how do we feed it and what happens when we try to stop? Should we? Can we? Where does the Creative Beast live? How big is it's dungeon? Will the cage hold? Is this a metaphor or a simile? Where are my pills?

Customer Reviews
Brilliant
So many reasons to listen to this podcast! It’s inspiring, funny, musical and imaginative. I can’t wait to hear what Heather and Jo will feed the creative beast with next!
Creative Beast
Very entertaining and inventive. Just proves the old saying that sound (radio) makes the best pictures. Interview with Jerry really good - nice to know there are still one-offs like him around. Also loved the various character voices, e.g. the lugubrious "Druid" in the time travelling bit. Well done all concerned including the uncredted bit part players. Should be on Radio 4 (probably too good for Radio 4 though). Sound effects and music also brilliant.
Lovely Stuff
This was funny, charming, and interesting. About 10000 times better than anything on Radio 4.
