Sydney has stopped at The Milkmaid for today’s episode. This artwork
was painted by Johannes Vermeer and shows a woman pouring milk. That might not seem interesting, but take a chance and listen to Sydney
describe the scene and the beauty of the mundane painted by her favorite artist.
Sydney has loved Vermeer since early childhood and listen as she explains why. Sydney also touches on her philosophy of nicknames, her
belief of how humans have always been human, and a few other topics.
