February 07, 2018 SpecialEp. 0.3 - Keepers of the Culture (Live Event at the PRX Podcast Garage)
In this special episode, we listen to the audio from the live event at the PRX Podcast Garage, "Keepers of the Culture: A Celebration of Meduna and Holmes," which I had the privilege of participating in at the end of January. In it I chat with collage artist Ekua Holmes, play her some audio I produced on her work, and then we listen to art historian Barry Gaither give the curator talk to end all curator talks on art, artists, viewers, and why we do what we do.
Special thanks to PRX, the PRX Podcast Garage, and WGBH.

October 25, 2017 Bonus - Introducing Hub & Spoke (by way of Soonish)
The Lonely Palette is thrilled to announce that we're a founding member of Hub & Spoke, a brand spanking new collective of Boston-centric, idea-driven podcasts. To kick things off, we're proud to present an episode of Soonish, the podcast about the future, hosted by veteran technology journalist Wade Roush. This episode, "Can Technology Save Museums?" not only asks some important questions about the future of art museums, but features me telling The Lonely Palette's origin story (spoiler: I say puke a lot). Learn more about Soonish and Hub & Spoke: http://www.thelonelypalette.com/episodes/2017/10/24/special-episode-10-introducing-hub-spoke-by-way-of-soonish Music used: The Blue Dot Sessions, "When In The West", "Cases to Rest"
