On Sovereign Futures
Our guest is curator Allison Glenn; we previously spoke to Glenn a few years ago about her Breonna Taylor-inspired show, "Promise, Witness, Remembrance." Now Glenn is curating a multi-venue, multi-day, multi-focused convening titled Sovereign Futures, which runs April 4th through the 7th. Per the Sovereign Futures website, various "artist-led projects will explore themes of sovereignty through...food, land, speculative futures, and histories of the place that is now called Oklahoma."

The Insider
Our guest is acclaimed journalist Bianca Bosker, who tells us that -- when it comes to which topics she chooses to investigate and cover -- she's "obsessed with obsession." Bosker's latest book is "Get the Picture: A Mind-Bending Journey among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends Who Taught Me How to See." She was a security guard at the Guggenheim. She worked in a commercial gallery. She was a studio assistant to an emerging artist. What Hunter S. Thompson did with the Hell's Angels, Bosker does with Art History majors.

But after reading this one, arguing that museums should be thought of more like infrastructure, it was time for another. On this episode we speak to one of the piece’s co-writers, Laura Raicovich, former Executive Director of New York’s Queens Museum.

Art artist, an LP covers episode
Outstanding episode, especially for my first for your podcast, nice way for me to start loved the insight on the album covers, and I knew a lot of the artist and maybe some of the LPs, but didn’t realize the background of the artist who did the LPs cover. Thanks guys happy new year and I’ll be listening to a lot of older episodes until your next. Good luck to you, Daniel.
Thank you.
I am a teacher, and this podcast has brought so much to my life, expanding my perspective that I am able to bring into my classroom. Sincerely thank you for your work.
One of the best museum podcasts around
Between the interviews that are timely, thought-provoking, engaging, and accessible AND the perfect ads (woo, drinking fountains and benches!) this is an all-around wonderful podcast.
