Join Elizabeth in a great conversation with artists Aunia Kahn and Michael de Vena. Among discussions of their art, they also talk about gatekeeping (and how it's not always a bad thing,) helping lesser known artists get a leg up in an ocean of big fish, running a gallery, a podcast, and a new publication. And more. Grab a snack and sit down and tuck in. Or drive. Or however you enjoy listening. We don't judge.

As Season 6 starts to wind down (but not over!) we decided to revisit our first (two) episodes. Cold Cuts and Cool Cats , at Corsello Butcheria, Easthampton MA , from July 13, 2019! Sit back and enjoy music and readings from Elizabeth MacDuffie, Alison Murchie, Brandee Simone, Michael Sean Qamar Alves, Lawrence Darren Green, and Brittany Brideau!

Artist Keemo joins Elizabeth in this great conversation about process and creativity and so much more. You just gotta tuck in. Keemo's art graces the cover of Jerky issue of Meat For Tea, The Valley Review, as well. The story behind that painting is fascinating!
