The 30-odd-minute episodes delve into their journeys, processes and ask basic questions like "What constitutes the creative?" and "Who is a creative person?" Guests talk with ease about self-doubt as an artiste, payments, gender imbalances and inspirations. The episode with Mendes focuses on changing career paths and may offer much insight to someone looking to turn a hobby into a career. The first episode with artiste Anushka Manchanda, is more run of the mill than the other and yet, makes for an engaging listen.

Others feature filmmakers Shreeda Patel and Misha Ghose. The show descriptions tell you where the episodes were shot and introduce a rare visual element, letting you imagine the setting. Though shot before the lockdown, Ardeshir takes the time to contextualise them in the introduction. We like that even though the conversations are far from the new normal we now live in, the host is mindful of it at the very least.
