Ep.85. Solo episode. Talking about the Academy Awards and their beginnings
In Hollywood today, they're buzzing with anticipation for the biggest event of the year, creatively and commercially. The Academy Awards will be given out and for the thousands of people whose fame, fortune, or livelihoods depend on the movies it's a bigger deal than the switch to Daylight Saving Time (which also happens today.)
On this bonus, solo episode of The Brainwave Podcast, Gail takes a look at some of the creative sparks that led to this year's nominees for Best Picture, to the nickname for the statuette, and to the Awards show itself.

Design, diversity, the creative process, and architect Clara Wineberg
My guest today is Clara Wineberg, Executive Director of the Boston office of SCB, a national architecture and design firm. She’s been part of hundreds of projects but we’ve decided to talk about the origins of one in particular -- The Laurel, the tallest residential building in Philadelphia, at 48 stories, located on Rittenhouse Square, a very prominent location in that city. We talk about the way the shape of a building site affects the creative inspiration for a design; about architects’ desire to manifest themselves through the built environment; and about the opportunity for diversity to flourish as the demand for architects services increases.

Ep. 20. The Invisible House. With architect Tomas Osinski
The Invisible House is an amazing example of architecture as art. Tomas Osinski, a frequent colleague of legendary architect Frank Gehry, designed and completed The Invisible House in a close consultation with the client/owner in 2019. Since then, it's drawn rave reviews from guests on airbnb and dropped jaws from motorists passing by on the highway.
Another of Tomas' recent creations is the first-of-its-kind, stainless-steel-woven tapestry that is part of the Frank Gehry-designed Eisenhower Memorial, opened on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. in September 2020.
In this interview, Gail and Tomas talk about the inspiration for The Invisible House; the intersection of art, architecture, and client service; and Tomas's suggestion for the essential quality an artist must have.

Unsubscribe from Anxiety, with author David A. Stone
Sometimes, the idea for a nonfiction book appears slowly from a series of observations or experiences, like a steady drizzle. Sometimes, it refuses to arrive, like a refreshing rain needed in the midst of a drought.
But sometimes, it is the downpour that fills up all the barrels and pails, and keeps everything healthy and growing.
That was David Stone's experience when he got the idea to write a book to help people with their fear and anxiety.

Welcome to The Brainwave Podcast, presented by The WindWord Group Publishing & Media. I'm Gail Hulnick and in this podcast I talk with writers, artists, composers, filmmakers, authors, designers, choreographers, chefs, songwriters and poets about that charmed moment that led to a creative spark -- sometimes, the biggest creative idea they've ever had.
Where does creativity come from? Where do ideas come from? How do you know which ideas to chase and which ones to let go by?
When and where were you, when you got that big idea? How did you feel and what did you think? What did you do next?
Once a week, we'll hear a story of the birth of an idea. We'll hear about the latest developments in our understanding of creativity. We'll hear about techniques that will help you to develop your own creative ideas. Support the show
