EP20: AI & Art

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559077/fan_mail/new] One of our most controversial episodes yet! How do you feel about robots taking over society? Do you have reservations about using ChatGPT to help you plan recipes or troubleshoot a problem? In today’s episode we dive into the pros and notorious cons of AI and the implications it has on society and for artists.

EP19: Defining Success

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559077/fan_mail/new] Back in the day, “success” was defined as going to college, buying a house, getting married, and popping out a few kids…but what does success look like for artists in late-stage capitalism? Are you still successful even if you don’t make any money at it? This week Vanessa and Mimi tackle redefining what it means to be an accomplished artist in a world that is constantly trying to fit us in a status quo.

EP18: Creative Failure

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559077/fan_mail/new] Look at any artist that you know and love. They’ve failed. Probably pretty big time, too. This week we crash out over failed brand deals, agent rejections, and times when there was just nobody in the audience and we had to cancel the show. But the show must go on, as they say, and we’re here for the creative rebound that comes after any failure, big or small.

EP17: The Artist’s Way - If You Lose, You Win

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559077/fan_mail/new] It’s no surprise that perfectionism takes many artists and creatives out of the game. On today’s episode, the girls walk through a chapter of their book club pick The Artist’s Way, unpacking the art of failure. And guess what? You never really lose so long as you’re actually trying. Also included in this episode: fangirling over Olympic figure skater Alyssa Liu’s child-like wonder and falling in love with an elephant in the Serengeti.
