  • Episode 65, Air Travel. A MUST listen to.

    Just finished listening to episode 65 about air travel. Joseph and Nathan do an exceptional job with all of the info they shared. They are a great team and compliment each other. I remember traveling as a kid on Pan Am and my dad let me have some of his Beluga caviar. 😊 Brought back some great memories. So informative and I learned a lot. Looking forward to listening to Joseph and Nathan in more of their podcast!

  • One of my favorite podcasts

    This is a really intelligent, thoughtful, and unique podcast that often seems to intuit and be ready to delve into topics that I have “literally just been thinking about”. The hosts often affirm takes I have been bouncing around in my own head but also plenty of times offer fresh perspectives that I genuinely have not considered before and am grateful for. You will learn lots of new things in each episode, but the format is laid back and conversational, and never overbearing. This podcast defini... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 64: Whimsicraft w/ Evan Collins
Q: What is the most recent aesthetic to be identified?
Evan identified some motifs, including 50s suburbia advert kitsch or parody, which he finds particularly fascinating.
Ep. 64: Whimsicraft w/ Evan Collins
Q: Can you start by telling us a bit about your background?
Evan Collins mentioned that he has a background in architecture and is still practicing in architecture and interior design.
Ep. 44: Net Art w/ Kevin Heckart
Q: What made you want to relaunch Mainframe?
My reason for hitting up Mainframe is my reintroduction of the art. Or I could re-look at my own art through the lens of the actual formal training I've had in art school, and maybe just try to re-grasp meaning from it.
Ep. 44: Net Art w/ Kevin Heckart
Q: So where was your first exposure to C-Punk and SeaPunk? Did you create that art style or come across it first?
Before, I think. I heard about this idea of C-Punk being this evolution of witch house. I always sort of incorporate a little bit of witch house motifs even.
Ep. 44: Net Art w/ Kevin Heckart
Q: Could you let the audience know where you're from and where you live now?
I wish I lived in Chicago. I visited a few times, through one, my partner, and then also, I think we did a party out of Pilsen. But I grew up in Kansas.
