Summary

On July 29, 2019 (the day after the birth of my son!), host and producer Danielle Monroe posted this interview we had recorded the week before for her podcast "Artists of Camberville." This was one of best conversations I've ever had about the origins of "The Lonely Palette" and the trials and tribulations of art-viewing, meaning-making, script-writing, audio podcasting about the visual, and, like, a little bit about The Bachelorette. Enjoy! 00:10: Introduction. 00:41: Laying the groundwork for starting "The Lonely Palette". 4:18: Clip from "Episode 24: Meditations on Mark Rothko". 6:12: Permission to slow down in front of a work of art. What is the best way to be present in an art museum? Both amateurs and experts have a hard time with this. 9:12: Is allowing for any reaction to an artwork “uneducated”? Exploring songwriting and meaning-making with a little help from Dar Williams and Mark Rothko. 14:30: As a podcaster, the difference between thinking like a radio producer and thinking like an art historian. 18:51: The desired takeaway from "The Lonely Palette"? Art history makes for a damn good story. Not scary stuff, just human stuff. 21:08: Can you do a museum wrong? Or maybe just…unpleasantly? 22:26: The weekend course that launched a podcast that people actually want to be on! 24:39: What would I do differently if I had to do it all again? How the depth of the episode scripts has evolved. 27:57: The Hub & Spoke garage story: attempting success due to the appearance of success. 31:44: Wrapping up, and fortunately (?) not going into labor on mic.

0:41.0	I finished a master's degree in art history in 2008 and that is when I had a total, you know, reckoning as to whether or not I wanted to keep going in art history and I had
0:55.7	Put it away for a while and the economy tanked and I started working at a finance firm and
1:01.4	I was teaching a lot. I was still teaching art history. I was really keeping
1:05.1	my toe in it and loving the teaching part and having a really good relationship with my students
1:12.1	and you know, but the life of an adjunct is
1:14.7	no life at all and I was still doing that alongside my day job and in 2011 I met a whole bunch of public radio people. I was introduced to them by a
1:30.3	dear friend of mine who actually I mean talked by going straight to the top I mean she
1:35.1	worked for this American life and so I was able to go to like a party with them and
1:40.8	but it was still like before cereal.
1:44.5	It was still, you know, you could like hang out with Sarah Kaneig and no one, you know,
1:50.3	no one would recognize her.
1:51.7	She was just one of the, you know, would recognize her she was just one of the you know wonderful producers
1:54.8	in still a very niche world so I realized that I felt so comfortable it was like
2:01.7	everything that I had felt maybe not quite like art history and the
2:06.3	academic world was really, I don't know, like it wasn't kind of tapping into what about the subject I loved. I wasn't really a researcher.
