100 times this. I like listening to podcasts and interviews with great creators in the various areas I work or hobby (music, writing, variety & comedy), and if one thing comes up over and over again in interviews with masters, it's this. It makes you better, faster, and saner. Seinfeld has a great rule for this: never show something you wrote to anyone on the same day you wrote it. It's brilliant in its simplicity. You need to firewall creator from editor from performer.
I can't remember on which things I heard them, but Seinfeld, Chris Rock, George Carlin, and Jon Stewart all say some super interesting things in interviews. And one I do remember because it's a recent discovery is Jamie Lidell's podcast, Hanging out with Audiophiles. The session he did recently with producer Damian Taylor was fantastic. HTH!

do you have any podcasts you could recommend? I'm particularly interested in music, but anything creation related would be useful.
