This week Ethan and Yvonne introduce the first ever Listeners' Panel. We welcome Ellis and Ilaria to Permeable Minds who both had extra ideas to contribute to the discussion of whether you can you separate the art from the artist. We explore the act of boycotting on both large and small scales; discussed various artists and directors and how their actions have impacted our views and decisions, or not; and came to the conclusion that maybe this topic isn't as black and white as it seems.

Have some ideas of your own? Want to be part of a future Listeners' Panel? Feel free to email us over at [email protected] or get in touch through the socials @permeableminds
