WonderAndMullSo inspiringI recently found Windowsill Chats through a post by her guest Mary Jo Hoffman. That was a fantastic episode…as have been every other one to which I have listened. I have been prompted with ideas, encouraged when I felt in a rut, and given tips and reminders of next steps. Already this has had a positive effect on how I do what I do, and perspective. Listen to it!

Funny FrancineA Window of JOY!Thank you Margo for sharing such a wonderful glimpse into creativity and the many paths it can take. I am not a visual artist, but hearing all the twists and turns each artist’s path takes fuels me to continue on my own unique and wild path, even when it doesn’t look like every one else’s. I never want the episodes to end! Thank you so much❤️

mmhaslamInspiring and calmingI love Margo’s voice. It’s so calming. I’m a digital artist and gain a lot from the insightful conversations she has with the other artists. I hope she gets more digital or concept artists on the podcast but most of the topics are applicable for any creative person.

Taylor_MilanArtBeautiful Conversations 🌸As someone who's dedicated her life to the arts, it’s always a delightful surprise to discover gems like "Windowsill Chats." Margo Tantau doesn’t just create episodes; she paints vivid, soulful narratives for every creative spirit. Listening to her is like finding that favorite sunlit corner in your studio, where inspiration flows effortlessly. Listening to "Windowsill Chats" feels akin to those cherished moments when, as artists, we share our raw, unfiltered stories over coffee, reveling in our shared struggles and triumphs. It's more than advice; it's a tapestry of experiences that reminds us why we chose this path.

c.ozTrue To My HeartI stumbled onto the podcast by happy accident really, in search for an artist podcast that I could really relate to as an artist. I had a few podcasts that I would listen to already, but upon listening to the first episode, this podcast really sang true to my heart! It is now my favorite one of all! I usually just skip all around in the episodes list. I’m enjoying it so very much. Most of the time I listen on my morning dog walk and I also listen while I work in my studio. Sometimes I listen twice to my favorites, since there’s so much juicy information to digest. I also shared with my artist friend, Jenni and she loves it as well. We chat about the episodes we love and connect with the most too. Thank you, Margo! Cheryl Oz

r3746Thank youThank you Margo. I love this podcast! I look forward to it every week. I’ve made art my whole life and have always been told I can’t do it as a career. But now I feel like I discovered this parallel universe where all these people are making a career out of art making. It’s so inspiring to me. So much gratitude to have found this!
-
b_artistic1023Thank you.Listening to 8/10/22 podcast. I am currently transitioning from a 33 year career in education to making art. Of course, I have doubts about myself, my abilities and if anyone cares. But thank you for saying well into the podcast “tell your story because we care”. I need that.
-
JesReyesArtSuch a great podcast!I adore this podcast. The conversations are always interesting and creatively helpful, both as an artist and business person. I like to listen on Sundays when I am in my studio. The podcast is a great companion!

BranchDesignIt’s Such a Joy to Listen to this Podcast!“Windowsill Chats” is one of my favorite podcasts. Margo and her guests make me not only feel connected with art, but connected with people whom I have never met. I appreciate the conversations about where each artist came from, how they got where they are, and what they are doing now—and plan to do in the future. It’s both fascinating and inspiring. There’s insight about creativity, but also about life and how to live a happy and joyful existence. I wish I had this podcast when I was in art school 20 years ago. Thank you for sharing this for all of us to absorb.

AnnTudorLook forward to each episode!What a joy to listen to! Such interesting and insightful conversations. I can’t wait for each new episode.

jules ArizonaWindowsill ChatsI have listened to every episode of Margo’s chats. She engages with each interviewee in a relaxed conversation, where I’m either learning something new, or nodding in agreement that I, too, have had a similar experience. I also have to add that an interviewer’s voice can either make, or break, whether I listen, and Margo’s voice is always so welcoming!
-
Patricia ZapataSo inspiring!I’ve been meaning to leave a review for a long time and it always slips my mind - embarrassing to admit that. The episode I listened to today (92) was extra special and really got to me. I just knew I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to thank Margo and her guest Beth for their generous info and inspiring chat. Guess who’s going to be writing some emails and beefing up their bio? ;) Margo - your podcast has kept me company during many hours of handiwork. I truly appreciate what you do to bring illuminating conversations and guests to those of us that soak it all in. Thank you!

Queen Anne's LaceMay 27th episodeMay 27 th episode was very inspiring. Thank you! I needed it.

fingerlakes artisanFabulous!!I save my windowsill chat podcasts for a time when I will not be interrupted, my commute to work or a long walk. As a health professional working with the elderly, I hear the wonderful personal stories they share, and the dreams they wish they had acted upon. It is inspiring to listen to creatives who believe in themselves and their talent. I am creative, a music therapist and a dabbler in many art forms. Water color class led to mixed media, which led to rug punch and now needle felting. And you know what- it is OK. I have heard your guests share similar creative journey’s. Thank you for the investment you are making to share their stories.

Lisa HaightWindow Sill ChatsWindow Sill Chats is my go to listen while working in my studio. Margo is a fantastic interviewer and every guest has such a wealth of information.

Thank you, thank you, Margo for this wonderful podcast!! You are a gift to this world!

MamaMFingPearlGive it a listen!One of my friends reached out to me recommending this podcast and WOW! I have worked through much of it over the last couple weeks, what a treat. Such sunny, interesting conversations peeling back the curtain so we're able to learn more about the life of these renowned creatives. I love how you weave both the personal journey and the specific intricacies of how the work is initiated/completed/installed/sustained. Thank you for sharing your expertise and that of the fabulous creatives featured!

heatherdonohueWindowsill WednesdaysWindowsill Chats is the only podcast in the world where I have listened to Every. Episode. I feel like I’m evesdropping on a micro mastermind session with two seasoned creatives who pull out nuggets of goodness as they recap their creative journeys thus far. (My fave episodes have the questions going both ways!) My favorite new-to-me word: substrate. Thank you, Margo, for inviting us into your sunny windowsill! ☀️🪟☀️

Phyllis OrzalliThe best way to start a Thursday!Thank you Margo Tantau for bringing Windowsill Chats to us every Thursday. A friendly place where you and your guests encourage listeners to be creative in their own way. You bring creatives together from all around the world in an inclusive and spontaneous way creating a community we long to be a part of. I love hearing about the unique journey of each guest and with each episode I learn a little more about the wonderful industry of art and design.

CjburchettFinding an agentGreat podcast! Question you may want to address, when should an artist look for an agent? Should you be done with masters first? Is there common age to start or number of exhibition?
-
NetsieeFavorite podcastI can’t stress enough how much I enjoy Windowsill Chats with Margo Tantau. From the intro music, her calming and friendly voice, all the way through the creative conversations Margo has with her brilliant and creative friends, this podcast is my place of zen and a huge source of inspiration. There are always great takeaways from these conversations, which makes you feel like you’re in the room listening to your personal friend talk about your favorite thing in life. Everyone knows Margo is a wonderful teacher and the kindest human, her podcast is just a bonus. How lucky are we?!!! Thank you Margo for providing an escape that fuels our creative souls. -Net T.

Your podcast is always inspiring and leaves me feeling like I’ve made a new friend each time I listen. Thank you for bringing so much inspiration Margo!

queen_of_sonomaMy absolute FAVORITEMargot’s podcast brings all the best things together. First, Margot herself: her speaking voice is so smooth & winsome—I listen in the afternoon out in my studio. And then there is Margot’s personality: kind, curious, funny, encouraging, smart—she listens so well & so bonds with her guests. Her artist friend group is quite LARGE and she generously shares her connections and industry stories with all of us. As she asks each of her guests: “Who’s inspiring you?” I would answer, “You are, Margot— and your fabulous podcast. Thank you.
-

cowbjdfwibibdeSmittySo inspiring!Love your podcast and particularly adored your talk with Maria Brito. She is inspiring and such a delight!

LaMicah HughbanksDiversityI enjoy the conversations on the show and find them inspiring. However, as a woman of color I’m not able to fully relate to the guest speakers. It would be nice for this podcast to be have a diverse group of guests on the show as well as conversations about adversities faced by minorities in the art community. I also would suggest making the podcast more fluid with gender as well. There is much more to creatives than just mainly one group of people.

happy fortuneExcellent resource for artistsWonderful podcast for creatives! Lots of great resources, information and encouragement. Thank you Margo;)
