    Art Disease

    We're back from our (unexpected) absence! And of course, we've got to address the elephant in the room - diseases and epidemics! From the Black Plague to the AIDS epidemic, Michael Kay and Kris discuss how previous diseases influenced the art world.

    They Put the ‘D’ in Dada

    What the heck is up with some of the weirdest art content in modern history? Home to some of the strangest art objects and performances, Dada is a cultural icon and the symbol of an age. Does that sounds fancy? GOOD--click in and come hang with us as we talk urinals, falling paper, and cardboarded-guys spouting gibberish.

    Gender in a Blender

    In this (long delayed) episode, Kris sees some exhibits at her local art museum that spark some thoughts about gender. Her and Michael Kay discuss what she saw and her takeaways from that. They also chat about Texas culture, and how things in the Lone Star State aren’t always exactly how outsiders think they are. Amongst all the chaos of life, Kris finds solace in playing World of Warcraft.

    We Need to Talk About Fan Art

    Fan art can be a very polarizing subject... Even amongst Kris and Michael Kay. In this episode, the two chat about the world of fan art, and provide their personal perspectives on it. Is it infringing on copyright? Is it a sincere form of flattery? What do some big media conglomerates (*cough* mouse ears *cough*) think about fan art? Hint: Michael K may or may not have been the recipient of a cease and desist letter regarding some fan art - she explains what happened, and explains some of the legal mumbo jumbo surrounding fan art. It’s a fascinating world full of inconsistencies and gray areas.

    Why Art Thou?

    Kris has a gin problem! Michael Kay lives in Japan now! Oh yeah, and they fangirl over why art is still relevant today. From having pretty things on walls to helping treat mental illness, art will always have a home. They also convince Will to talk about his vigilante Boise Christmas Light Project!
