044: Mid-season beat with Noel Childs
This is a Patreon preview
In the current season of A76, The Human Spark, I’m stepping away from tools and trends to focus on the people behind the ideas. The conversations have been really refreshing and focused on where ideas come from, what everyone does to get unstuck, and how they decide which ideas are worth pursuing. So far, I’ve spoken with researchers, designers, creatives, journalists, artists, and brand leaders—and there’s much more still to come in the second half of the season.
Now I’m opening up my process for Season 5. Check out my preview episode and if you’re an A76 Patreon member, you can:
- Hear my working ideas for next season
- Submit your own idea for the theme
- Vote on which direction the podcast should take next
If you’ve been listening and thinking, “I’d love to influence where this goes,” this is your moment. The A76 community will help shape the show’s future.
