Emmy Award-winning The Good Wife actor Carrie Preston guests on Episode 103 of The Compass, which drops January 5.

Known for her roles on the hit HBO series True Blood, as well as The Good Fight, Person of Interest, and Dustin Lance Black’s landmark miniseries When We Rise, Preston joins host and creator Leah Walsh to share her own experiences on creating her own work, as well as her involvement with The New Harmony Project to support playwrights. She also opens up about growing up in an artistic family, and how she’s learned to accept change over the course of her career.

The Compass is dedicated to the stories of working actors, writers, directors, designers, dancers, musicians, composers, and playwrights. Each week creator and host Walsh speaks with individuals from various artistic disciplines who are also using their art as activism.

The Compass can be downloaded for free on iTunes.
