A NEW PODCAST FOR CREATIVES!
We need the arts more than ever. Let’s talk about the why.
Arts Calling is a podcast to celebrate creatives across disciplines and cultural backgrounds, but also a case for the arts as the gateway to empathy, healthy lives, and strong communities.
Writer/Director Jaime Alejandro catches up with friends and artists in the written, visual, and performing arts to hear their origin story, how to overcome real-world hardships, and why it is essential to remain true to an artistic calling. We hope you join us in this celebration of the creative pursuit!

I can’t wait to have conversations with people making art in the visual, written, and/or performing arts: Creatives from small towns, from the nooks and crannies of the world, artists who have leaned into their art through times of hardship and have become stronger for it. I’m a Mexican raised in Wyoming, so I’d love to meet people of color, immigrants, and outsiders making art because their soul demands it. Let’s connect!
Much love,
