What do you listen to while you work?
I go through phases when I listen to TV shows, audiobooks, or music. Right now I'm mainly listening to podcasts.
In no particular order, here are some of the podcast episodes I’ve enjoyed recently:
*Pep Talks for Artists, Episode 41: Artist Pet Peeves -This was really funny to me, and I can’t resist a non-toxic rant- actually I didn't know they were a thing until listening to this episode. Truly an art form in and of itself.
*The Art Career, Season 2, Episode 1: Mickalene Thomas: To Be an Artist is a Radical Act- Thomas’s comments on the gallery system are something I wish more people were talking about.
*Pep Talks for Artists, Episode 25: How to Work an Opening- So useful and practical. Feeling like I’ve lost any semblance of social non-awkwardness over the past several years, I will definitely remember these points next time I attend an opening.
*Lessons From a Quitter, Episode 241: Self-Love- I discovered Goli Kalkhoran on social media, and her simple tips for mindset work always make me feel hopeful.
*About Art with Heidi Zuckerman, Episode 64: Beth Pickens- I love listening to Beth Pickens. I search for new podcast interviews with her every so often, and I recently discovered this one from 2021. In it, she talks about her favorite things: artists, advice, jobs, money, death, and more. Beth is a career therapist/coach for artists, and author of Your Art Will Save Your Life, and Make Your Art No Matter What.
*Klein Artist Works: Camille Seaman- Not a podcast, but so great, and so inspiring. Klein Artist Works was recommended by Virginia Broersma/The Artist’s Office.
*I Like Your Work- Chie Fueki- Chie Fueki has been a favorite artist of mine for a long time. This is the first time I’ve heard her talk about her work, and I loved it.
And a bonus: Sunlight Podcast. A podcast about taxes (specifically catering to artists and other creatives) might seem unusual, but if you care about your money, it's an excellent source of information.
