# Creator Interviews

Creator Interviews was launched on 1 January 2019 and featured interviews with creators: bloggers, podcasters, online video makers, musicians, authors, artists and illustrators, and others. It was originally called *Indie Digital Media*.

**Update, February 2022:** The original website is now offline, however I have created a replica of the site at [creatorinterviews.ricmac.org](https://creatorinterviews.ricmac.org/). It was last updated in March 2019. You can also browse via the index below.
