- History of a suffragist bringing a cleaver into the national museum and slashing the Velasquez painting (before there was a casing). Suffragettes would say “deeds not words” - Just stop oil tried to mirror this action and put paint on the same spots (but they missed) - Art is escapism, when people are mad and angry at the world being bad people go see a movie or go to an art museum

I love the Bridgwater Triangle world, I enjoyed Consumed but this is enthralling. Three episodes out currently and I cannot wait to hear more. Definitely a binge worthy one. The production value, voice acting, and dialogue are stellar ✨ This first episode sets the scene and story up quickly, little sneak peaks at the underlying eeriness that will undoubtedly follow 🙌🏼

Loved the part where she was commissioned to do a mural on a big building and then realized a school was across the street. The kids were the real audience, so she created “Every Day I See Something New” full of all kinds of iconic local images.

This is the best legal podcast that I know of, devoted to the US Supreme Court. It is written and produced by three professors of constitutional law who have an astounding depth of knowledge, yet they provide enough background that even non-lawyers can understand the issues. Every citizen should try to make themselves aware of what's happening.

This is a fantastic lecture that calls us out on bad habits with regard to listening and communication and judging others, and suggests some skills and attitude adjustments that help us engage in better communication and achieve greater understanding of one another. I really like the author's presentation. He used multiple sound (sensory) devices to keep the audience interested and engaged. It comes across as very light hearted and easy to listen to, but it has enough depth that I want to listen to it a second time and take notes.

Season 3 has been very strong and I’m loving it a lot more than season 2 which felt a bit chaotic. The characters this season are very fun, as is the 1950ish setting. If you like a little eldritch horror sprinkled into your comedy, give this a go!
