The Amy Beecher Show

Today we're re-releasing Episode 35 with the singularly courageous and inspiring Amy Khoshbin! Amy's collaboration with Jennifer Khoshbin (her sister!) and Wildcat Ebony Brown is called The Sun Seekers- an ongoing series of performances at LMCC as part of their Take Care series. Are you taking care, my fellow sun seekers, fun seekers? Drink your water. Get sleep. Wash your hands. Read a poem. Listen to a podcast. (hint hint). Content warning: Death and dying. Some listeners may wish to skip the second half of the podcast from around 1 hour 05 minutes.

This week we're re-releasing Caitlin MacBride's episode on the occasion of her show at Heroes Gallery. The venue pairs emerging artists with established, historically significant artists that have played a role in their development. Very cool. It's up through October 30, 2021. Also, Caitlin's getting married on Saturday, and that's a fun thing to celebrate. Caitlin MacBride, everybody! Three cheers to her and her tight, smart, beautiful paintings.

Dona McAdams has been making photographs for over forty years. We talk about where art has taken her: the stages of Performance Space in the 80's and 90's, Coney Island assisted living facilities, homeless shelters, small mountain communities in Appalachia, dairy farms in New England, and on the backstretch of thoroughbred racetracks. Dona's reverence for her subjects and appetite for collaboration is remarkable. And she's a goat farmer! All that and more.
