Pass/Fail/Incomplete

Identity Crisis is the theme and adult acne the leitmotif of this episode featuring painter, writer and co-editor of Paper Monument, Dushko Petrovich. Dushko talks to us about his search for his identity from Toledo Ohio to Serbia, while Peter reluctantly shares some family details as well. Tune in on this conversation where painting, writing, humor and sports are all topics of discussion. As a bonus feature, Oliver reflects on Kim Kardashian, the Call of Duty franchise and the possible demise of culture. This episode is brought to you by our official sponsors: nobody, free access to broadcast equipment and a shadowy SVA student known only as “Matt.” (Recorded on 11/13/14)

The theme of this episode is crossovers and the task of straddling diverse audiences. For this complex and thorny subject, we are joined by none other than Sara Reisman, independent curator and Director of the New York City Percent for Art Program. Sara talks to us about the delicate negotiation involved in commissioning public art for the city, her childhood and utopian upbringing, and last but not least, rats. We talk about rats. Listen in on this dynamic conversation where Peter battles a headache, the banter debate heats up, and Oliver waxes nostalgic about cows in public spaces. Do it. Press play. (Recorded on 11/6/14)

Join us for episode two–the meta-episode–with New York Times critic and former Bowery Electric band member, Martha Schwendener. Martha talks to us about politics, growing up in Michigan, Occupy, the travails of criticism and her journey out of, and back into the academy. Since it’s the meta-episode, it packs plenty of surprises and artistic flourishes. And yes, there are special guests. (Recorded on 10/9/14)

Listen to our inaugural episode with artist, Matthew Weinstein, where we discuss Matthew’s upbringing, interest in craft, foray into Hollywood, and of course, singing fish. Plus, Peter and Oliver learn about each other, the WSVA studio, and the fine art of bantering. (Recorded on 9/24/14)
