Breaking Walls

On Breaking Walls Episode 63, we head to Mana Contemporary Studios in Jersey City, New Jersey for a chat with groundbreaking artist Shantell Martin. Shantell produces large scale murals and installations designed to invoke high vibrations from the audience, and get them asking more questions about life.

If you haven’t seen Shantell’s creations and are now hearing this, I’d suggest you definitely go check to ShantellMartin.net. Seeing her work will absolutely give you larger context for who she is and why she approaches life the way she does.

Highlights

• Why Shantell was a morbid kid

The importance of working on your weaknesses

Why artists should treat themselves like business people

How to get the confidence to put yourself out there

How creating on the fly and trusting in one’s self gets us to be more open

Are you you?

The importance of patience and understanding we’re on a journey

The importance of cataloging our art as we create it

What’s next for Shantell

On episode 60 of Breaking Walls, we present a look at the history of audio in America on the fourth of July in honor of the 241st anniversary of America's Independence Day.

We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we’ll get angry, and perhaps, we’ll all be able to answer what it means to be an American.

Highlights:

• Norman Corwin Presents: Home for the Fourth, which originally aired on July 4, 1944.

• A little-known tale about how the American Revolution began from 1948

• Jean Sheppard tells Fourth of July fireworks stories from the Limelight in Greenwich Village, New York in 1964.

• Bill Stern tells a tale about three founding fathers who all died on the Fourth of July from 1947

• The historical significance of the Liberty Bells' inscription, as told in 1954

• Why love is the only way to truly have independence and revolution

• Where we can go from here in America
