Returning Soon!
Conversations about creativity, ambition, healing, and the realities behind building something meaningful.
Hosted by Zebulon Thomas.
The Podcast In The Rough explores the emotional realities behind creativity, storytelling, burnout, reinvention, and personal growth.
Through reflections, conversations, and lessons drawn from years inside production environments and creative work, the show explores what remains after ambition, identity, and success begin to collide.
This is not a show about shortcuts or performance.
It’s about truth — the kind discovered through experience, rebuilding, and honest conversation.

I’m Zebulon Thomas, a filmmaker, cinematographer, and creative strategist, and the host of The Podcast In The Rough.
For nearly two decades, I’ve worked inside commercial production and storytelling, helping shape campaigns, brands, and creative projects at a high level.
Over time, my focus shifted from performance and output to the human experience behind it all—burnout, identity, ambition, and rebuilding.
This podcast is where I explore those conversations through honest reflection and storytelling.
