We are doing things a little differently today’s episode of the Not Real Art Podcast. There’s no guest, just news. Good news. Random news. News you never knew you needed. While Man One is still away on assignment, Sourdough opens the show by discussing what this extra format is bringing to the table. We started off by asking: how do we bring value, how do we add more interesting stories, and do we need a different podcast? With these three questions in mind, we decided to trial this new show format. In this episode, Sourdough tests out our groovy new soundboard with rim shots, canned laughter, and live call-in capabilities. Just like the first pancake of the camp-out, this first episode is going to be something of an experiment. With this particular experiment, we are going to throw a range of topics into the mix, like the Not Real Art Artist grant, women in the art world, the importance of diversity, free speech in social media, and which glue works the best for modelers. If this sounds deliciously interesting to you be sure to join us! And remember, every camp-out pancake is better than the one before.    Key Points From This Episode: Introducing today’s topic: experimenting with a new style of podcast!
