    Life As a Late Blooming Artist

    Why is it that one needs to find him or herself in an uncertain, uncomfortable situation, in order to bring out the artist inside? This is a two-in-one podcast, featuring two remarkable guests, Gizelle Batomalaque and Janet Meinke-Lau. Their lives compare and contrast interestingly, but converge at one distinct detail: art. Find their works here. Gizelle's Instagram page - @bespectacledpebble Janet's website - www.janetmeinkelau.com The thumbnail is a pretty cool species of a snail found at the museum that Gizelle works in (Academy of Natural Sciences, Drexel U).

    What happens after finishing college when, instead of going even faster in life, you chose to go at it slower? That might just land you in a seminary. We speak to a reflective Markus Alcantara, who spent a brief time with the Jesuits, quick enough so he can let us know early enough, that life is less about the answers but rather more about the questions.
