How art impacts the world

Great Podcast showing how art impacts the world. No matter if it is music, design, drawing, painting, sculpture, and many other mediums art is needed. I love how they talk to their guests and really tackle the message art has. This is more than just a how to but how art impacts the creator and the audience. I am hooked!
