About the show

Blank Page Tuesdays is a weekly interview show about the unglamorous part of creative work: showing up when nobody is waiting for the result. Lea Marchetti, a Lyon illustrator who draws every morning before her paid work begins, talks with novelists, ceramicists, songwriters, comic artists and documentary editors about their actual routines. How many hours, which hours, what happens on the days the work is bad, how they finish things, and how they keep going through years without recognition. Episodes run around 40 minutes and each guest describes one real week in detail. The show is for anyone with a half-finished project in a drawer, a creative practice squeezed around a day job, or a fear that discipline will kill the joy. Lea's position, learned slowly, is that discipline is what keeps the joy from drifting away.
