Welcome to Wasted Creatives — a podcast hosted by Michael Crilly exploring the stories, minds and creative processes of people building creative lives in unusual ways. Some guests left traditional careers to pursue music, comedy, art, film, writing or business. Others still work full-time while creating on the side. Wasted Creatives explores the tension between stability and creativity — and what happens when people choose to make something anyway. Each episode is a relaxed long-form conversation over a drink covering creativity, side hustles, creative industries, inspiration, self-doubt, career changes and building meaningful projects. Hosted by Belfast dentist and educator Michael Crilly, this podcast is for anyone who has ever wondered what life might have looked like if they followed their creative instincts. New episodes featuring artists, musicians, comedians, filmmakers, writers and creative thinkers from the UK, Ireland and beyond.
