The Art of the Olympics
28 februari 2022 · 59 min
The Olympics may have ended, but it's still a chance to reflect back on how music and art are involved in these biennial games in a huge way. We discuss the Olympic games division of Art Competitions and the complications that eventually ended them and then move into how modern Olympic competitions still involve the arts in many ways, going over the fashion of the Olympics, including notable female designers like Bonnie Cashin, Stella McCartney, Vera Wang, and Kim Kardashian. Then we talk about the music of the Olympics (opening ceremonies and performance numbers) touching on The Chicks and Leanne Rhymes, Björk, and Jennifer Thomas. Lastly, we end with the Graphic Design of the Olympics including the invention of pictograms, the medals, wayfinding systems, and Deborah Sussman's iconic 1984 LA Summer Olympic Identity design. Just because it's sports doesn't mean there isn't art involved in every step! Lees meer

Ghostwriting with a Ghost: Patience Worth & Pearl Lenore Curran

This week Stauney introduces us to an strange pairing, a woman and the ghost she claimed was using her to write poetry and novels. Before this incident, Pearl Lenore Curran lived a very normal and ordinary life, with dreams to work in music and be a singer. However, after an "encounter" with an ouija board, she soon begins to claim that she is communicating directly with a ghost named Patience Worth and that Patience is using Pearl as a tool in order to write her poetry and novels from the other side of the grave. This throws Pearl into the limelight, as well as a bunch of controversies around the spirituality movement. We talk about Pearl's early life, what we know about Patience Worth, Ouija board history, and debate whether or not this encounter with Patience was fact or fiction. Lees meer

Shirley Jackson: A Haunted Horror Author
4 oktober 2021 · 50 min
This week Sadie introduces us to an author with a class of works perfect for October. Shirley Jackson is well known for her work of fiction "The Haunting of Hill House" recently made into a Netflix adaptation, along with her best-selling story "The Lottery" gaining lots of attention for its controversial publication. However, long before that, her spooky class of works gained her a reputation of being a particularly clever and talented author. Sadly her personal life was about as haunted as the books she wrote with their own class of personal tormentors, her mother, and husband, being harder to vanquish than the ghosts that riddled her novels. We talk about her early childhood, marriage, career, and her famous body of work. Lees meer

The Political Power of Dance
27 september 2021 · 1 uur 2 min
This week we got to dive into a very underrepresented area of the arts and its influence on political protest. Throughout history, dance has been used as a tool for political power and protest, even though it's also been laced with controversy and sometimes outlawed in countries and communities (even today). We talk about a myriad of cultures and societies that have been influenced by this political power of dance. From Zimbabwe warriors, plantation slaves, 17th-century French Courtiers, Soviet Communists, LGBTQ+ activists, to the counterculture scene of Sao Paulo, dance has been used as a way to express unity, power, and protest. We also talk about the myriad of issues that have used dance as a catalyst for change including protests against the economy during The Great Depression, the refugee crisis, gender equality, human trafficking, and most recently police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement. This episode will definitely make you rethink dance... and also the movie Footloose. Lees meer
