About the podcast
In storytelling, the fourth wall is an imaginary boundary separating a performer from the audience. Each episode of this new podcast aims to shatter that boundary and share insights about the creative process from a range of voices. Hosted by Craig Kier, executive director of the University of Maryland’s Arts for All Initiative, “The Fourth Wall” welcomes artists, creators, scientists, humanists and more to reflect on creativity and connection at the University of Maryland and beyond.
