Honesty is the foundation of good art, but is there such a thing as being too honest? Spurred on by a beautifully forthright statement that Teresa recently made on Instagram, this episode’s conversation explores where the line is between artistic confessionalism and trauma dumping. As the episode moves along, there’s a segment on “The Last Thing That Inspired Me” that brings out favorites in television and music, which naturally leads into. . .the Bermuda Triangle, Ouija Boards and quicksand, and finishes with a shout out to a special artist that, one might say, gave birth to Artsy Types.
