Founders talking to founders – making business a little bookish!
3 - Author Talks Podcast
Jump into the world of writing and books with us. We're having conversations with authors about their latest creations and the magic behind their writing process.

Does Art Require Hubris? Dr. Rebecca Marks on Gothic Literature, Frankenstein & Artists
Does great art require hubris? In this episode of Creators Talk Podcast, we explore Gothic literature, Frankenstein, and the complex relationship between artists and their creations with Dr. Rebecca Marks, a Cambridge PhD specializing in Gothic literature and art history.
Dr. Marks takes us deep into the world of Gothic literature, from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to the moral questions that define the genre. We discuss whether classics should remain untouchable, who gets to adapt stories by women, and the eternal debate: can we separate the artist from the art?
This conversation covers content creation, the role of hubris in making great art, controversial artists, and how Gothic literature teaches us about morality, ambition, and what it means to be a creator in today's world.
