  • Season 1 was great, season 2 meh

    Season 1 was great, loved it a lot, but season 2 has fallen off a bit. Feels more like fluff and less focus on the storylines.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Season Two, Episode Seven "The Sacred Care of Priceless Objects" - BONUS EPISODE interview with Gretchen Dietrich
Q: Did Indiana leave instructions for like, if it gets rusted, here's the painting?
Dietrich explains that museums work with an artist's estate for conservation guidance. The sculpture had been refurbished shortly before the acquisition, and the museum installed it overnight after closing a road.
Season Two, Episode Seven "The Sacred Care of Priceless Objects" - BONUS EPISODE interview with Gretchen Dietrich
Q: So how does a museum balance between being a repository for the greatest or most significant art and being a place that has to sell tickets?
Dietrich says museums take collection stewardship seriously and must be selective because accepting an artwork entails long-term care and research. They also work to remain relevant and draw visitors, while building trust with their communities so audiences will come to see both familiar and emerging artists.
Season Two, Episode Six "WIHZ, The Whiz" - BONUS EPISODE Interview with James Van Osdol
Q: Did you have wild calls or something memorable that shaped how you handled the show?
Yes, there were many odd and sometimes concerning calls after dark, which reinforced the need to stay guarded yet supportive of listeners who needed help, and to recognize the community that formed around the station regardless of the chaos.
Season Two, Episode Six "WIHZ, The Whiz" - BONUS EPISODE Interview with James Van Osdol
Q: What was the song you remember the most people calling to request?
The request that stood out was Limp Bizkit's Nookie, which became emblematic of the era and the show's lively interaction with listeners, especially during late-night hours when the audience skewed younger.
Season Two, Episode Five "Old Montauk Hwy." - BONUS EPISODE interview with Jason Roth
Q: What are some of the best-known intrusions and how did they generally happen?
The intrusions often gained access to transmitters or station computer systems, with famous examples like the 1977 southern England incident, Captain Midnight in 1986, and the Max Headroom incident illustrating a range from religious proselytizing to anti-corporate protest and vandalism.
