The Forrcast

For the 15 minute this week, Forrest discusses his frustration with Instagram and the social media sphere. It's becoming increasingly more challenging to operate as a small business on social media and it's not right and not fair the way that these companies are taking advantage of people.

IT'S SO GOOD TO BE BACK!

Welcome to the Forrcast (formerly the Plebeian Podcast), today Forrest sits down with the two other co-founders of Plebeian, Joseph Gardner and Levi Massey, to discuss the history and faults of the art market and art as an institution. It's quite a long chat but it's packed full of history, references, and opinions that we feel are necessary for making art better... and hopefully we presented them in somewhat of a fun way.
