In this episode, Candy and Eugene welcome Special Agent Sarah back to the podcast.

On September 8, 1985, Ana Mendieta, a 36 year old artist well-known for her feminist-focused work, died after plunging from a 34th story window in New York. Her husband, Carl Andre, also a well-known artist, was present at the time, and was subsequently charged with her murder.  In 1988, he was acquitted of wrong-doing in her death.

This episode, we welcome Sarah Elliott back to The Agency to discuss the 2006 documentary Scott Walker: 30 Century Man.

Scott Walker's early musical success was with the pop band The Walker Brothers. They weren't brothers, nor was their name Walker. They performed pop music like their familiar hit, The Sun Ain't Goin' to Shine Anymore. 30 Century Man chronicles Scott Walker's transition toward an experimental music which included percussion generated by punching a slab of meat.

Were you into Scott Walker's music? Join us to hear about his unique history as told in 30 Century Man.
