Summary

Where did the myth of the “starving artist” begin? Why did it become so pervasive, and is it even true? Or is it just another way for a society that doesn’t value art and arts careers to push creators into “traditional” roles? Today, we’re joined by actor, comedian, and Emmy-nominated writer Chelsea Devantez. You’ve laughed at Chelsea’s wit on The Problem with Jon Stewart, Girls 5Eva, and Bless This Mess. You might also know her from her podcast, Celebrity Book Club, where she recaps famous celebrity memoirs. In this episode, Tori and Chelsea dive into the mythology of the starving artist, breaking into male-dominated industries, and how Chelsea is working to build a more inclusive space in comedy and media. They also dive into a fascinating discussion about the ethics of the stock market, financial feminism, and hacking the patriarchal financial system for the greater good.
