The first ever podcast recorded in my new Recess in Brooklyn, NY! Bobo is Phil Cote, Drew Gillepsie, and Nick Payne. Bobo’s work is elaborate, goofy, and controversial. We have a lovey-dovey conversation about it. Nick’s not there.

The only way out is through the hole, says artist Colleen Asper. This episode is a deep dive into Sum/Body, Colleen Asper’s latest exhibition at Stellar Projects. We’re talking holes. And by that I mean we’re talking vaginas. And clitorises. Mostly the later.

Immersion Therapy with Karen Azoulay

The trashiest episode of The Amy Beecher Show yet. In her Greenpoint apartment, Al turns the podcast around and bullies me about my relationship and past drug use. Yes, eventually, we talk about her recent NY-Times reviewed show at 56 Henry. Sure. But it’s a complete trash fire otherwise. Also, Al is taking over the Instagram. Check that out.

Em Rooney has a show coming up at the Museum of Modern Art soon. What else would we want to talk about? Marriage, Vermont, and gardening in the studio. That’s what.

Amy talks music, DIY culture, and White Whales with Stephen Lacy of Academy Records.

Artist Virginia Lee Montgomery grew up in the Bayou and now has a pretty weird day gig that takes her all over the country. (No spoilers, though). Recent work includes a collaboration with the Dark Matter lab at Yale, an installation of what she calls subversive currency at Sculpture Center, and a solo exhibition at Meyohas Gallery (both in New York). More topics: Rodeo, Michael Smith, horse wigs. Amy talked to Virginia Lee Montgomery in her tiny studio in Bushwick last June.

In 2015 Amy talked  to the legendary Bert Crenca, founder of AS220. Hear about how recovering from addiction and finding himself as an artist led shaped Crenca’s vision for AS220. This is an inspiring one. Hold onto your hats.

Leeza Meksin-what a delight! This conversation took place around a month ago in my mother's psychotherapy office. Leeza and I talk "shop" about Spandex, mind over matter, figure skating, and her new gig at Columbia. Trigger warning: this episode is heavy on the grad school talk.
