🎙️ So We're Now In A Global Trade War
Emergency Weather Report: Surviving the Creative Storm
Welcome to this emergency episode of The Weather Report — a regular podcast feature on my Substack for creatives navigating the shifting skies of art, culture, and self-expression.
I’m Emma Clarke: artist, broadcaster, voice actor, and creative strategist. Think of this as part forecast, part dispatch, always grounded in lived experience.
In this episode, I share an Emergency Weather Report for April 2025.
With a global trade war brewing and creative freelancers caught in the crosswinds, I unpack what it means — and how we can respond.
You’ll hear:
Why this isn’t collapse, but recalibration
The five things freelancers need to do now to adapt and stay visible
A call to create the kind of work this moment demands: steadying, strange, truthful
This episode is part strategy, part survival kit.
