Season 1 Episode 7: Black Arts Movement

Season 1 · Episode 7

Tuesday, October 6, 2020 • Duration 01:12:40

Back in action for episode 7!

This episode isn’t Pod Save America (we do love those guys), but we do talk about politics. We don’t think it’s a trigger warning, but if you’re tired of it all stick around for some sweet art history. Tay covers the Black Arts Aesthetic Movement, and the bad ass women who lead the way after WWII. Jay might freak out a little when she realizes Faith Ringgold and Betye Saar are involved. We hope you’ll freak out too (in the best way possible)!

Season 1 Minisode 1: The Un-Researched History of the Apostle Paul

Season 1 · Episode 1

Tuesday, September 15, 2020 • Duration 25:30

We know two weeks is a long time to wait, especially in 2020! Minisodes are coming!!!

Artsy Fartsy is working bringing you "the outtakes." In this minisode, Jaymee takes Taylor on the very un-researched and full history of the Apostle Paul. In the process of build Artsy Fartsy, there is plenty that we record, but gets cut in order for us to keep episodes under an hour. We hope you enjoy a little bit of history, albeit NOT art history.

There are no resources for this minis ode. Literally none. So correct away friends- we know we got stuff wrong!
