Ceramics, stained glass, mushrooms, grandmothers, grief, and haircuts. Seattle-based artist Emily Counts and I cover all of this and more on today's episode.

EMILY COUNTS : choose your own adventure

ART FOR YOUR EAR brings you stories from some of my favorite contemporary artists. When I studied Art History, the best part was, well, the gossip. I loved finding out why artists did certain things, what was going on in their personal lives, and behind-the-scenes details about other artists they knew and worked with. This podcast is exactly that ... inside-scoop stories from the artsiest people I know. You'll hear first-hand from these talented, successful, full-time artists (who also happen to be regular people with hilarious stories) BEFORE they’re in the Art History books. - Danielle (aka The Jealous Curator)

This is a very special episode because I didn't do just one interview, I interviewed a whole room full of fabulous artists at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Who, you ask? The great artists of tomorrow - ages 3 to 10! Brace yourself for inspirational, hilarious, cuteness overload.

SFMoMA : future greats

Today's artsy investigation takes a look into the WHY and HOW behind "ART and JOY", and oh so much more. If you've ever wanted to write a book but aren't sure how to get started, or you're curious about why I made the jump from adult art books to kids' books, all of the answers await!

ON THE CASE (EP 4) : the story behind the story

If you don't go big, do you have to go home? We're investigating this question, but that's not all. We'll also explore how to "level up" by reaching out for a bit of help ... specifically PR help. Since these are two pretty big questions, I've brought in TWO creative experts to help me crack this case!

ON THE CASE (EP 3) : they told her to "GO BIG"

Today's investigation is a two-parter ... A) When every day of the week feels too busy for creativity, how do you prevent freezing up when there is a window of time? And B) How do you know if/when your hobby could become your everyday jobby? I'll be joined by a creative expert to help me solve this one!

ON THE CASE (EP 2) : every day troubles

I'm kicking off my new series of podcast episodes! Rolling up my sleeves to investigate (and solve) the questions and concerns sent in by artists from my community. I am ON THE CASE ... (PS I'll be joined by a mystery guest, who's an expert on beauty, to weigh in on today's investigation.)
