Tyler and very special guest Lauren Linge talk about living in a house full of art teachers! Lauren, filling in for a very sick and very locked out of his house Adam, brings more than 1 year of teaching experience to the pod to talk about her career from graphic design to teaching, some terrible advice received in high school as well as teaching those pesky elements of art and principles of design.

Adam and Tyler celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month by telling stories of their own therapy goings and dealings with mental health, as well as the importance of broaching the topic with students. Plus, college professors in grad school give good advice! Even if they didn't see a pandemic coming!

Adam and Tyler are once again, perhaps still prematurely looking towards the end of the school year. How to get students to turn work in, classroom injuries, and following the fun. You know, whether it's swapping ghost stories or making headstones for dead animals. Follow. The. Fun.

Adam and Tyler discuss a student-led protest at the Iowa State Capital that has the support of the local school district's teachers and admin. Plus, a much-needed highlight of all the awful legislation being passed in Iowa that is in direct contrast with the want and needs of everyday people currently living through a pandemic.

Adam and Tyler look back on their first year of teaching art and look forward to the last few weeks of one of the wildest school years of all time. Plus, sometimes lesson plans should change and why not show a little grace to your students, as well as to yourself!

Adam and Tyler discuss a varitey of topics including but not limited to what to do with stolen artwork, the poor Saudi Crown Prince's $450 million fake Leonardo painting, and UBI for artists in San Francisco. Plus, a DMX drop for everyone to enjoy.

Adam and Tyler discuss getting old while continuing to try and push kids to use new technology and introducing them to some things they may have never heard of before. What'sup typewriters? Plus, how to correctly right a "wrong" and a proper history lesson on one of Iowa's greatest artists of all time, Grant Wood.

Adam and Tyler discuss the ease and joy of providing students with representation in the arts. While it is a start to anti-racist work, it's only a start and that should always be your baseline. Plus, an Inuit art museum shaped by the Inuit and as always shout out to the Guerilla Girls.

Tyler explains his journey into cryptocurrency, non-fungible tokens, and thicc Pikachu.

Adam tries his best to stay "young" "hip" and "cool" keeping up with this new technology.

Texas got hit with some cold weather and some silly people blamed wind turbines for the energy grid failures. Meanwhile, Tyler spent way too much money on books and Adam tries to book an Air BnB during the apocalypse.
