The Lonely Palette is on break until November 2019, so every Wednesday in October, a different Hub & Spoke producer will take the host's chair to present an episode of their show that Tamar is especially fond of. Enjoy this month's podcast petri dish of art, culture, history, and society, and subscribe to any and all Hub & Spoke shows at www.hubspokeaudio.org.This week:Open Source with Christopher Lydon is a local conversation with global attitude.  "The Bauhaus in Your House," which originally aired on 90.9 WBUR in April 2019, is an exploration of art, architecture, and design with Tamar Avishai, Peter Chermayeff, Ann Beha, and Sebastian Smee. The Bauhaus was the art school in Germany that created the look of the twentieth century. We just live in it: loving its white-box affordability, or hating its stripped, blank, glass-and-steel uniformity, the world around. It’s the IKEA look in the twenty-first century, the look of Chicago skyscrapers and now Chinese housing towers, the look of American kitchens and probably the typeface on your emails. It was the less-is-more school that made ornament very nearly a crime. It stood, and stands, for a few big ideas still hotly contested.Listen to Open Source at www.radioopensource.org, or wherever you get your podcasts.Next week:The Constant and MichelangeloListen to The Lonely Palette archives!www.thelonelypalette.com/episodesSupport The Lonely Palette!www.patreon.com/lonelypalette

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.
