The Amy Beecher Show

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.

Reuben Lorch-Miller and I talk about magic tricks, grieving, marriage, rule-based art, and being "a part of a moment." Also, "I'm back." Intro recorded at my new empty apartment in Providence. Sounds a little different in there, no? That's what affordable spaces sound like.

I know I said I'd be back soon but things got complicated. Anyway, I'm here now, what do you want? Just give me a minute to smoke this cigarette and make some calls and then we'll get you changed and fed. Here's a snack stop your moping.

(But seriously stay tuned. Had some technical difficulty getting things running smoothly on iTunes and trying to clean up my audio quality. What can I say? I'm learning. Expect some new episodes to pop up around October 15th).
