This podcast was 2 years in the making, with all scripting, VO recording, and much of the interview process taking place during the pandemic. Our Chelsea studios were shuddered, so the MCS crew relied on makeshift vocal booths, home studios, and leaned into the mixed media available to tell this remarkable story of art, process, and the relentless pursuit of realizing a creative vision.
