The premier episode of The Rest of the F***ing Owl Podcast! (with repaired audio)

It's Jun 27th, 2025. We just had an all-day arts festival, the Art of the Contest, in which contestants hosted their own art contests in all different genres throughout the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn. The winning host will be announced live on air, and then they'll be the first-ever guest on the Rest of the Owl! They'll also bring THEIR winning contestant along for the interview. We'll talk shop about their creative life, including all the messy bits.

TROTFOP is a podcast about the messy, chaotic inner life of every artist and creative. It's hosted by Hart, a musician and immersive playwright who lives in Brooklyn and celebrates the FAFO method for all creative endeavors. Subscribe for more honest conversations about the chaos at the core of creativity.
