Art Scoping is a podcast featuring protagonists in the fields of art, architecture, design, publishing, art law, public policy, and culture generally. We’ll skip the elevator speeches and find out how arts leaders are coping with change, what keeps them up at night, and what gets them out of bed. 

It's been a while since the last episode of Art Scoping--it will hereafter follow no set schedule, but episodes will pop up here and there.

This episode is a recorded tribute to my late grandfather Maxwell Anderson--playwright, lyricist, author, and journalist. I delivered it on March 24, 2022 at an event on the campus of the University of North Dakota, marking the unveiling of the first literary landmark in the state.


Episode 87: A Literary Landmark in Honor of Maxwell Anderson

A short episode in which you’ll hear about the basics of a new endeavor announced by Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley of Barbados. Called the ROAD Project (Reclaiming our Atlantic Destiny), it includes a massive digitization project, the creation of a memorial to enslaved people by Adjaye Associates, and the planning for a new heritage district to incorporate a museum and archives, performing arts venues, and associated amenities. Stay tuned to the Barbados Government Information Service to follow this compelling project.

Episode 86: Notes on the ROAD Project in Barbados

A special episode recorded in Barbados with attorney, activist, and music producer Audu Maikori. Attending the island nation’s rebirth as a parliamentary republic, and assisting with ambitious plans to build a heritage district, we cover that momentous transition and his encounter this past week with another prince, the Prince of Wales, his roots as a member of the Ham royal family of the Nok people, the quest for restitution of its looted heritage, and the need for a suitable Museum to receive it. A social activist who was arrested for alleged incitement to violence, he prevailed in court and was awarded damages against the Governor of Kaduna State and the Nigerian police force. His work as a music producer has taken him in multiple directions, from discovering new talent and seeing artists reach millions of listeners globally, to combating piracy and helping develop copyright protections in Nigeria, to serving as a judge in the first season of Nigerian Idol. Erudite, generous, and philosophical, he opens the door to greater understanding of several issues facing one of the world’s most populous nations, brimming with possibilities.

Episode 85: Audu Maikori

Min Jung Kim took the helm of the Saint Louis Art Museum a few weeks ago, and we hear her first thoughts about her new city, post-pandemic audiences, economic impact studies, major exhibitions, the value of free general admission, the cultural district including the museum, and how she spent her first few days on the job getting to know the building and everyone from curators to art handlers and guards.

Episode 84: Min Jung Kim

Architect Mark Cavagnero shares anecdotes about his formation working for Edward Larrabee Barnes, his personal experience with Marcel Breuer’s body of work, and insights about the competing issues facing architects designing and building cultural facilities. He touches on his designs for the Walker Art Center, the Oakland Museum of California, and his hopes for the downstream effects of the new infrastructure legislation signed into law by President Biden.

Eskisi kadar özlemiyorum seni,
Ve ağlamıyorum olduk olmadık zamanlarda..
Adının geçtiği cümlelerde, gözlerim dolmuyor..
Yokluğunun takvimini tutmuyorum artık.
Biraz yorgunum..
Biraz kırgın..
Biraz da kirletti sensizlik beni! 
Nasıl iyi olunur henüz öğrenemedim ama
“İyiyimler” yamaladım dilime.
Tedirginim aslında, seni unutuyor olmak,
Hafızamı milyon kez zorlamama rağmen yüzünü hatırlayamamak korkutuyor beni..
Gel diye beklemiyorum artık,
Hatta istemiyorum gelmeni..
Nasıl olduğun konusunda ufacık bir merak yok içimde.
Arasıra geliyorsun aklıma, banane diyorum
Benim derdim yeter bana banane! 
Alıştım mı yokluğuna? 
Vaz mı geçiyorum, varlığından? 
Tedirginim aslında,
Ya başkasını seversem? 
İnan o zaman seni hayatım boyunca affetmem..

Özdemir ASAF- Eskisi Kadar Özlemiyorum Seni

Uykuların kaçar geceleri, bir türlü sabah olmayı bilmez.
Dikilir gözlerin tavanda bir noktaya,
Deli eden bir uğultudur başlar kulaklarında
Ne çarşaf halden anlar ne yastık.
Girmez pencerelerden beklediğin o aydınlık.
Onun unutamadığın hayali,
Sigaradan derin bir nefes çekmişçesine dolar içine.
Kapanır yatağına çaresizliğine ağlarsın.
Sevmek ne imiş bir gün anlarsın.

Bir gün anlarsın aslında her şeyin boş olduğunu.
Şerefin, faziletin, iyiliğin, güzelliğin.
Gün gelir de sesini bir kerecik duyabilmek için,
Vurursun başını soğuk taş duvarlara.
Büyür gitgide incinmişliğin kırılmışlığın.
Duyarsın,
Ta derinden acısını, çaresiz kalmışlığın.
Sevmek ne imiş bir gün anlarsın.

Bir gün anlarsın ne işe yaradığını ellerinin.
Niçin yaratıldığını.
Bu iğrenç dünyaya neden geldiğini.
Uzun uzun seyredersin aynalarda güzelliğini.
Boşuna geçip giden günlerine yanarsın.
Dolar gözlerin, için burkulur.
Sevmek ne imiş bir gün anlarsın.

Bir gün anlarsın tadını sevilen dudakların.
Sevilen gözlerin erişilmezliğini.
O hiç beklenmeyen saat geldi mi?
Düşer saçların önüne, ama bembeyaz.
Uzanır, gökyüzüne ellerin.
Ama çaresiz,
Ama yorgun,
Ama bitkin.
Bir zaman geçmiş günlerin hayaline dalarsın.
Sonra dizilir birbiri ardına gerçekler, acı.
Sevmek ne imiş bir gün anlarsın.

Bir gün anlarsın hayal kurmayı;
Beklemeyi, ümit etmeyi.
Bir kirli gömlek gibi çıkarıp atasın gelir
Bütün vücudunu saran o korkunç geceyi.
Lanet edersin yaşadığına...
Maziden ne kalmışsa yırtar atarsın.
O zaman bir çiçek büyür kabrimde, kendiliğinden.
Seni sevdiğimi işte o gün anlarsın.

Ümit Yaşar Oğuzcan- Bir Gün Anlarsın

Biz her şeye, 
esirgeyen ve bağışlayan, 
çokça esirgeyen ve çokça bağışlayan, 
hep esirgeyen ve hep bağışlayan 
rabbin adıyla başlayan adamlarız anna. büyücülerin, haramilerin, borsacıların, reklamcıların, korsanların, işgalcilerin, bankacıların elinden kurtulmamız da bundan. 
sanayi devriminde bile, 
karanlık, rutubetli, çok bağırışlı, 
çok nefessiz, çok sabahsız, çok aşksız, çok çiçeksiz, çok neşesiz, çok kitapsız 
bir fabrikada hayatta kaldık sırf bu yüzden. piyasaların hınçla dolu iniş çıkışlarına kalbimiz dayanıyor bir şekilde. 
kalbimiz derken, 
ilk gençliğimiz, sakalımız, 
bir kasetin iki yüzüne de ard arda kaydedip dinlediğimiz şarkımız diyorum
aslında. 
işte böyle yaşıyoruz ve yaşamak da sana dair uzayıp giden bir özleme dönüşüyor. 
insaf et anna! gidelim buradan. 
senin masumiyetini, 
bilgelik zamanlarından kalma sırları, 
dünyanın bütün sabahlarını yanımıza alıp da gidelim. 
hesap etmeden, haritaya bakmadan gidelim. 
ölelim diyecektim az kalsın. 
ölmeyelim. 
hiç ölmeyelim anna. 
sarılalım diyecektim az kalsın. 
içimden böyle şeyler de geçiyor işte. 
sarılalım, dudakların… 
tamam sustum. gitmek istemezsen bir şiir miktarı kadar otursak diyorum. 
şiir kalsın istersen, sadece otursak. 
oturmasan da olur benimle,sadece ellerimi tut. 
ellerimi tutma dilersen sadece yüzüme bak. 
yüzüme bak ama anna, yüzüme bak. 
gözlerime bak, gözlerimin içine bak. 
gözlerim biraz karanlık. 
içinde cenkler, ayinler, kesik damarlar, 
kapıları yumruklayışlar, cipralexler, turgutlar, edipler,sezailer, 
siyahlar, beyazlar, uykusuzluklar, bitmeyen başağrıları, bildirilerin öfkesi, 
duvarlara uzun dalmışlıklar var.gözlerim biraz yorgun. 
içinde bekleyişler, bekleyişler, bekleyişler, 
bekleyişler, bekleyişler, bekleyişler… 
bekleyişler anna. köylü çocukların parasız yatılı sonuçları mesela. 
nişanlısı askerde kızlar, 
kızı ölüm orucundaki baba,
babası tersanede oğul, 
oğlu şizofren anne. hepsini sayamam gerçi, utançlarım da var. 
ama geçecek hepsi, geçecek. 
şifalı gözlerin her şeyi iyi edecek. 
gözlerimin içine bakmaktan korkma anna. 
sen adımını attığın andan itibaren
hira dinginliğine dönüşecek ortalık.

Tarık Tufan-Anna

Dokunulmasa da,
Görülmese de;
Kalpte yer verilir bazısına…
Nedensiz!
Sen…
Aklım ve kalbim arasında kalan,
En güzel çaresizliğimsin!
Gerçi…
Aklıma bile gelmiyorsun artık,
O kadar kalbimdesin ki!
Gözlerinin…
Gözlerinin kahvesinden koy ömrüme…
Kırk yılın hatırına,
Sen kalayım…
Sevmek…
Ne uzun kelime!
Şimdi açsan pencereyi de beklesen,
Sen gelsen.
Olmaz ya hani geliversen.
Hiç bir şey sormasam,
Hiç bir şey söylemesen.
Sussam
Sussan
Sussak

Cemal Süreyya- Sevmek Ne Uzun Bir Kelime

Senin kalbinden sürgün oldum ilkin 
Bütün sürgünlüklerim bir bakıma bu sürgünün bir süreği 
Bütün törenlerin şölenlerin ayinlerin yortuların dışında
Sana geldim ayaklarına kapanmaya geldim 
Af dilemeye geldim affa layıkolmasam da 
Uzatma dünya sürgünümü benim 

Aşkın bu en onulmazından koparıp 
Bir tuz bulutu gibi 
Savuran yüregime 
Ah uzatma dünya sürgünümü benim 
Nice yoruldugum ayakabilarimdan degil 
Ayaklarimdan belli 

Lambalar egri 
Aynalar akrep melegi 
Zaman çarpilmis atin son hayali 
Ev miras degil mirasin hayaleti 
Ey gönlümün dogurdugu 
Büyüttügü emzirdigi 
Kus tüyünden 
Ve kus südünden 
Geceler ve gündüzlerde 
Insanliga anit gibi yükselttigi 
Sevgili 
En sevgili 
Ey sevgili 
Uzatma dünya sürgünüm benim 

Bütün siirlerde söyledigim sensin 
Suna dedimse sen Leyla dedimse sensin 
Seni saklamak için görüntülerinden faydalandim Salome'nin Belkis'in 
Bosunaydi saklamaya çalismam öylesine asikarsin bellisin 
Kuslar uçar senin gönlünü taklit için 
Ellerinden devsirir bahar çiçeklerini 
Deniz gözlerinden alir sonsuzlugun haberini 
Ey gönüllerin en yumusagi en derini 
Sevgili 
En sevgili 
Ey sevgili 
Uzatma dünya sürgünümü benim 

Yillar geçti sapan ölümsüz iz birakti toprakta 
Yildizlara uzaniphep seni sordum gece yarilarinda 
Çati katlarinda bodrum katlarinda 
Gölgendi gecemi aydinlatan essiz lamba
Hep Kanlica'da Emirgan'da 
Kandilli'nin kursuni safaklarinda 
Seninle söylesip durdum bir ömrün baharinda yazinda 
simdi onun birdenbire gelen sonbaharinda 
Sana geldim ayaklarina kapanmaya geldim 
Af dilemeye geldim affa layik olmasam da 
Ey çagdas Kudüs (Meryem) 
Ey sirrini gönlünde tasiyan Misir (Züleyha) 
Ey ipeklere yumusaklik bagislayan merhametin kalbi 
Sevgili 
En sevgili 
Ey sevgili 
Uzatma dünya sürgünümü benim 

Daglarin yikilisini gördüm bir Venüs bardaginda 
Köle gibi satildim pazarlar pazarinda 
Günesin sarardigini gördüm Konstantin duvarinda 
Senin hayallerinle yandim düslerin civarinda 
Gölgendi yansiyip duran bengisu pinarinda 
Ölüm düsüncesinin beni sardigi su anda 
Verilmemis hesaplarin korkusuyla 
Sana geldim ayaklarina kapanmaya geldim 
Af dilemeye geldim affa layik olmasam da 
Sevgili 
En sevgili 
Ey sevgili 
Uzatma dünya sürgünüm benim 

Ülkendeki kuslardan ne haber vardir 
Mezarlardan bile yükselen bir bahar vardir 
Ask celladindan ne çikar madem ki yar vardir 
Yoktanda vardan da ötede bir Var vardir 
Hep suç bende degil beni yakip yikan bir nazar vardir 
O sarkiya özenip söylenecek misralar vardir 
Sakin kader deme kaderin üstünde bir kader vardir 
Ne yapsalar bos göklerden gelen bir karar vardir 
Gün batsa ne olur geceyi onaran bir mimar vardir 
Yanmissam külümden yapilan bir hisar vardir 
Yenilgi yenilgi büyüyen bir zafer vardir 
Sirlarin sirrina ermek için sende anahtar vardir 
Gögsünde sürgününü geri çagiran bir damar vardir 
Senden umut kesmem kalbinde merhamet adli bir çinar vardir 
Sevgili 
En sevgili 
Ey sevgili

Efsunlu Şiir Sokağım

A podcast about the films and politics of the 1990s. Exploring the output of a seemingly bottomless decade. Hosted by Aaron & Carlee.

Filmmaker, critic, video essayist and author Scout Tafoya joins the show to discuss the work of undersung journeyman Bruce Beresford and his brilliant 1991 film 'Black Robe', a story of faith, the frontier, and the church as a pernicious vestige of the European colonial project. Set amidst the 17th Century French conquests of North America in modern-day Quebec, the film follows the titular Black Robe, Father Laforgue, a Jesuit Missionary tasked with bringing Christianity to the indigenous populations of the region. As he ventures deep into Huron territory with his company of Algonquin guides, the limits of his faith and reason are tested, as it becomes clear that his beliefs and the promises they supposedly carry can find no purchase with a people who have no need for them. Greenlit in the wake of the success of 'Dances With Wolves' and cashing in on an exceptional amount of goodwill Beresford had accrued after directing the Academy Award-winning 'Driving Miss Daisy', the film is a brilliant study of self-deception, and the profoundly human impulses of one's perceptions of the divine.  We discuss Beresford as filmmaker, his history as a contemporary of Australian greats Peter Weir and George Miller, and why his work deserves an immediate and vast reappraisal. Then, we discuss 'Black Robe', its exacting observations of faith and imperialism, and its unusually sensitive and well-researched portrayals of indigenous American tribes. Finally, we talk about other films in the canon of great portrayals of faith and the frontier, including Michael Mann's gorgeous 'The Last of the Mohicans' and Martin Scorsese's late-period masterpiece 'Silence'.

Filmmaker, producer, writer, and podcast guest extraordinaire Jared Bailey joins to discuss one of the iconic texts of 90s popular cinema, 'Forrest Gump' directed by Robert Zemeckis and winner of the 1994 Academy Award for Best Picture (among many others). For all its swings at grandeur, the film is a deceptively simple one in premise: An ordinary man reflects on his life, regaling passersby with his stories about coming of age in America from the 1950's onward and detailing the instances in which he became a passive observer of - or coincidental participant in - many of the generation's noteworthy events. One of the greatest box office successes of the decade, the movie is also one that perfectly encapsulates the deeply cynical politics (or the posited apoliticism) of The End of History.  We discuss the film's curious flattening of the historical record, papering over the thornier details of post-war America for an audience seeking to make sense of the decades of conflict that preceded the 90s and its erasure of the material context for monumental touchstones such as the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement. Then, we explore filmmaker Robert Zemeckis and his seemingly pathological need to embed bizarre racial elements into his most popular features, often commenting in ways that become more problematic than the surface-level prejudices of his contemporaries. Finally, we discuss the long-gestating (and ultimately cancelled) sequel to the film, which would have seen Forrest involved in even more historically resonant instances such as the OJ Simpson Bronco chase and the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

Mad Max maestro George Miller has a new film in theaters, so writer/producer/co-creator of Fox's 'Sleepy Hollow' & co-host of Podcast Like It's... Phil Iscove joins to discuss the work of the visionary director and his brilliant, underseen sequel to everyone's favorite talking pig movie, 'Babe: Pig in the City'. Following the breakout success of 1995's 'Babe', Miller delivered a darker, more adventurous story that sees the titular pig braving a cold, indifferent Metropolis (featuring a fascinating assembly of familiar landmarks from cityscapes around the world) and winning the hearts of its embittered animal residents through his courage, cunning, and compassion. Gene Siskel's #1 film of 1998 and a favorite of musician and actor Tom Waits, the film has steadily found its faithful audience after an initially disappointing box office run, anticipating some of Miller's careerlong challenges with compelling audiences to gamble on his bold visions. We discuss the film's narrative and thematic swings, how Miller takes the story in fascinating new directions, and why the filmmaker's insistence on never repeating himself becomes both the film's greatest asset and its toughest barrier for entry. Then, we assess the movie's incredible technical achievements, and why making this film feels like it might have been just as challenging as Miller's work on any of the Mad Max films. We also praise the film's willingness to embrace difficult emotions and never shy away from challenging its target audience of young viewers with harrowing and heartrending scenes of animals in extrememly human experiences of distress, opression, and danger. Finally, we turn our eyes to George Miller's latest entry in his long-running action series, 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga'. Epic in scope, bold in vision, and featuring some of Miller's most ambitious storytelling, 'Furiosa' has been embraced critically, but is failing to find its audience, with disappointing box office returns and a near-guaruntee of a short theatrical run. On the back half of this episode, we make the case for 'Furiosa', praise its grandeur as well as its nuance, and offer up some readings of the film that challenge many of the common criticisms we've seen so far. Follow Phil Iscove on Twitter. Listen to and support Podcast Like It's... on Patreon and wherever you stream podcasts. . . . . Our theme song is 'Mirror' by Chris Fish.

Filmmaker, writer, and dude with an insanely high midi-chlorian count Neil Bahadur joins to discuss George Lucas's return to the Star Wars saga with the prequel trilogy kickoff 'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace'. Met with ambivalence by most, genuine revulsion by others upon its initial release in the summer of 1999, the film (and the prequel trilogy more broadly) have seen a continued reappraisal, especially in the era of so many soulless Disney-era Star Wars productions. The Phantom Menace is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary with a recent limited re-release on IMAX screens. On this episode, we make a case for the film not just as comparatively good, but a genuinely excellent entry in the Star Wars canon. We discuss the film's place within the the decade-spanning saga as well as its position within the film landscape of the era - how it pushed the boundaries of digital effects integration, and signaled (in non-alarmist terms) an evolving style of blockbuster filmmaking. Then, we talk about the film's narrative highs and lows, and share our thoughts on the critical points of 25 years of criticism: Midi-chlorians, Jar Jar Binks, Jake Lloyd, Watto and more. Finally, we praise the film's many incredible formal qualities - its relationship to Lucas's early student films visual experiements, The Phantom Menace's debt to classic cinema greats like Kurosawa and Douglas Sirk, and the brilliance of the film's multi-phase finale, cross-cutting between four different theaters of action seamlessly.

Writer, critic, and Hit Factory Discord all-star Jason Miller returns to the show to discuss Hong Kong director Stanley Kwan's 'Center Stage', an experimental biopic exploring the life and work of Chinese silent film star Ruan Lingyu who achieved an unprecedented celebrity before tragically taking her own life at only 24. Ruan is played magnificently by Maggie Cheung in one of her first "serious" (and arguably one of her very best) performances. The film brilliantly forgoes a traditional biopic structure, intercutting the filmic recreations with real footage of Ruan's handful of enduring film performances. From there, the film offers an additional layer of complexity by frequently inserting black & white interstitials of director Stanley Kwan and Maggie Cheung (as herself) discussing the life of Ruan Lingyu and the production of the film. As the film goes on, these distinct layers begin to fracture and smear, both emphasizing the unreality of the recreations and eliciting a deeper sense of truth to the real Ruan Lingyu that the film understands it can never fully capture.  We discuss the way Kwan navigates his experimental form through the lens of classic melodrama (taking influence from the likes of Douglas Sirk) in order to create something that invites even as it antoginizes and provokes. Then, we consider the real Ruan Lingyu and some of her most well-known works (including 'The Goddess' directed by Wu Yonggang) and how the open construction of 'Center Stage' invites us to pursue further understanding rather than attempt to act as the final word on Ruan. Finally, we look at the state of the modern biopic and the furstrating lack on ingenuity and experiementation when approaching the titanic lives that these films consider.  Follow Jason Miller on Twitter and everywhere else.  Watch Wu Yonggang's 'The Goddess' starring Ruan Lingyu on YouTube. Watch Cai Chusheng's 'New Women' starring Ruan Lingyu on YouTube.

Knihy, knihy a ešte raz knihy. Beletria, reportáže, občas faktografia, ale hlavne láska k čítaniu.

Čítanie Orlanda je pre mňa niekoľkoročná záležitosť. Začala som ho/ju už pred rokmi, ale mala som prvé české vydanie z roku 1929, a tam bol ten preklad rozhodne zastaralý, a proste to nešlo. V roku 2024 som si dala novú métu, a to, že túto knihu konečne zdolám s o čosi novším prekladom. A na čítanie tejto knihy, kúsok po kúsku, som vás zobrala so sebou. Nech sa vám dobre počúva!


Orlando (V. Woolfová)

#88 Read with me: Orlando

Dnes je 17.máj, ktorým je zároveň je Medzinárodný deň boja proti homofóbii, bifóbii a transfóbii a ja vám prinášam fantastické tipy na knihy práve s queer tematikou. Nech sa vám dobre počúva!


Taková je Sarah (P. Delabroy-Allard)
Na Zemi jsme na okamžik nádherní (O. Vuong)
Počkej na moře (V. Opatřilová)
Rozložíš paměť (M. Torčík)
Skoncovat s Eddym B. (E. Louis)
Achilleova píseň (M. Miller)
V tmavej komore (S. Faludi)
Orlando (V. Woolf)



#87 Malá pripomienka, že láska je pre každého!

Gaudeamus Igitur znamená len jedno- knihy zo študentského prostredia. Na začiatku vás prevediem krátkym prehľadom trendu #darkacademia, ale spomeniem aj protitrend #lightacademia, aby sme sa vzápätí vrhli na štyri knihy, ktoré vám s radosťou odporúčam ďalej. A aby to nebolo len o dark, na konci zmienim dve knižné série, ktoré sú fakt light. Prajem príjemné počúvanie!


Piknik na Hanging rock (J. Lindsay)
Nejlepší léta slečny Jean Brodieové (M. Spark)
Anglické obludy (J. Scudamore)
Tajný príbeh (D. Tartt)

#86 Gaudeamus Igitur

Traja Poliaci, ktorí sa vydali do krajín Strednej Európy a nakoniec o nich napísali aj tri knihy, kde dané národy hodnotia. Ako sa im to podarilo? Ktorý z nich má ktorú krajinu najmenej rád? Všetko sa dozviete v podcaste!



 Gottland (M.Szczygiel)
 Ufo nad Bratislavou (W.Gogola)
  Guláš z turula (K.Varga)


#85 Poliaci nás komentujú

Prajem krásny začiatok apríla. V tejto časti podcastu vám prinášam tri tipy na knihy, ktoré mi doslova prevalcovali instagram. Zaujímavosťou je, že všetky tri knihy sú české, a zároveň boli všetky vydané v roku 2023. Ale okrem toho sa v podcste venujem svojmu zmyslu čítania, ďakovačkám poslucháčom a aj jednému tipu na podcast.
Zoznam kníh rozoberaných v podcaste:
 Těla (K. Vlasáková)
Fosilie (M. Kašpárek)
Čokoládová krev (R. Denemarková)
A odporúčam ešte Srpny (J. Stanjura)- úplne som knihu v podcaste zabudla spomenúť!

“Tiki bar fans, rejoice — and grab a place at Strong Water Anaheim. It’s a creatively reimagined classic of the genre, with its curio-shop-in-a-shipwreck atmosphere, its supercharged bar-food menu, its encyclopedic list of classic and creative tropical libations (zero proof options included), and its treasure chest of rare artisanal rums worth drinking straight.” Strong Water’s latest national recognition is a nomination for the prestigious James Beard Award for Outstanding Wine & Other Beverage Program. Strong Water is the only Orange County nominee in any category for a James Beard Award in 2024. The food menu is an important calling card for Strong Water, too. Their Galley Master (Executive Chef) is Steve Kling previously the highly regarded culinary force in the kitchen at Five Crowns in Corona del Mar. Proprietors Ying Chang (Fleet Commander) and Robert Adamson (Prime Minister) join us just back from Chicago and The James Beard Awards.   “The California Restaurant Foundation (CRF), a nonprofit focused on investing in and empowering California restaurants and their workforce, has proudly partnered with California’s energy companies to launch the fourth consecutive Restaurants Care® Resilience Fund. Thanks to the generosity of SoCalGas, The PG&E; Corporation Foundation (PG&E; Foundation) and San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E;), CRF will award $5,000 grants to 278 independent business owners across California. For the first time, commercial caterers are eligible to apply, in addition to independent restaurant owners. Resilience Fund applications will be open from June 15 to June 30, 2024, and can be found at www.restaurantscare.org/resilience. Grants will be available to all California-based restaurant owners and commercial caterers within the utility companies' service areas, provided they operate fewer than five units and generate less than $3 million in annual revenue. Priority consideration will be given to restaurants that have not received a grant previously.” Alycia Harfield, Executive Director of California Restaurant Foundation joins us to provide the details. “When Epoch Estate Wines owners Bill and Liz Armstrong set out on their “crazy” quest to make wine, they did not have their sights set on any particular wine region. However, Bill and Liz knew two things for sure:  they loved wines made from Rhone varieties, and being geologists, understood the importance terroir plays in the making of world-class wines. Upon extensive research and travel, they kept coming back to Paso Robles for the weather, unique soils, hilliness, and extreme temperature swings that are known to this region and are found within each of their vineyard sites – Paderewski, Catapult, and York Mountain. In 2010, after an extensive international search, Owners/Vintners Bill and Liz Armstrong, found their dream winemaker in Jordan Fiorentini. Passionate, dedicated, and not afraid to push the envelope Jordan brings an enthusiastic and experienced spirit to Epoch. Her palate is the kind wine lovers dream of and one that speaks to her through shapes. Having an awesome artistic side, Jordan now draws her Tasting Notes, called Vinpressions, in addition to writing about each wine.” Winemaker Jordan Fiorentini joins us to uncork all that is Epoch Estate Wines. “The 9th Annual Garagiste Wine Festival – Urban Exposure, returns to Los Angeles (Glendale Civic Auditorium) for the ninth time on Saturday, June 22nd, bringing 150+ extraordinary wines and 40+ of the best micro-production ‘garagiste’ wineries from all over California. Tickets are now on sale: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/garagiste-wine-festival-9th-annual-urban-exposure-tickets-871263461467  Renowned for its handcrafted wines from professional artisan winemakers who make less than 1,500 cases, its renegade spirit, and rules-breaking ‘no snobs allowed’ ethos, The Garagiste Festival: Urban Exposure is the only festival to provide Angelenos with the opportunity to be first to discover so many under-the-radar wines, wineries, wine styles, and grape varieties from almost every AVA in the state, including Paso Robles, Sonoma, Napa, Livermore, Mendocino, Santa Barbara County, and, of course, Los Angeles.” Festival Co-Founder Doug Minnick joins us to uncork all that is The Garagiste Festival. “The newly launched Alice B. is a unique dining destination from James Beard and Julia Child award-winning chefs Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken (Border Grill and Socolo) located adjacent to downtown Palm Springs. The restaurant and bar is tucked inside the lobby of Living Out, a luxury resort-style LGBTQ+ community surrounded by spectacular desert and mountain views. Combining Southern California’s incredible seasonal bounty with vibrant Mediterranean flavors, the culinary vision is a collaborative effort between Feniger, Milliken, and acclaimed Executive Chef Lance Velasquez. Alice B.’s  dinner and brunch menus evolve frequently with the seasons. Guests can also visit the bar for seasonal bites, classic cocktails or a glass of wine with live piano music on select evenings.” Chef Susan Feniger is our guest with a plate of their signature Cornmeal Cheddar Drop Biscuits at the ready. Our own Chef Andrew Gruel, the menu-maker behind the full-service Calico Fish House (in the Sunset Beach area of Huntington Beach) provides another timely and informative “Ask the Chef” segment where he responds to listeners’ thoughtful inquiries. Summer is the ideal season for enjoying flavorful Potato Salad. Chef Andrew shares his personal secrets for the perfect Potato Salad. All of this and heaping helpings of extra deliciousness on this week’s not-to-miss show!

She’s also the host of the top-rated Fiction Writing Made Easy podcast, where she delivers weekly episodes full of simple, actionable, and step-by-step strategies that you can implement in your writing right away.
