Today I’m joined by returning guest Steve Carroll — artist, lecturer, and author of the Diaspora science fiction series.

In this episode, Steve opens up about the creative process behind his writing, and we dive deep into the role of characters in storytelling — how they evolve, why they matter, and what they can teach us about resilience, belonging, and transformation.

It’s an inspiring discussion not just for writers or sci-fi fans, but for anyone interested in how creativity reflects real life. You’ll hear insights on:

🔹 Finding inspiration from everyday people

🔹 Why flaws and struggles make characters — and us — stronger

🔹 The importance of keeping imagination alive at every stage of life

If you’re looking for a dose of creativity, hope, and storytelling wisdom, this episode is for you.
