Alan Edward Murphy (he/him) is a folk singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, although he leans towards bass guitar.

On the second episode with Clarence Long III, we talked about the nature of creativity, how our tools shape our creative decisions, how our relationships to ourselves shapes our art, and how algorithmically trained programs can play a part (or not) in our creative processes.

There’s many layers to Latinidad, which get discussed in the context of Hunter’s trip to Puerto Rico. I get to share a bit of my story out of religion, we talked about Hunter’s time in Puerto Rico, then we share which pop artists we’re interested in. Enjoy this fun conversation with Hunter Heretik!More about Hunter: Hunter Heretik, the artist formerly known as Hunter Blake, makes transgressive alt-pop. His music encompasses a lot of genres and feelings, but it all comes from his perspectives growing up in Oklahoma as a queer Puerto Rican.

Hunter Heretik, the artist formerly known as Hunter Blake, makes transgressive alt-pop. His music encompasses a lot of genres and feelings, but it all comes from his perspectives growing up in Oklahoma as a queer Puerto Rican. We talked about the rebrand from Hunter Blake to Hunter Heretik, what that means, his journey in music, and his journey out of (and strangely back towards) Catholicism.

My conversation with Dalton Stuart (he/him) continues and we talk about some of my favorite media, how the film industry is changing, and how some people simply don't understand what media is actually saying. I wanted to cite the source for the claims I made about the production of the Spider-Verse movies:https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/23/23771199/across-the-spider-verse-working-conditions-phil-lordDalton Stuart (he/him) is the Director of Operations at the Oklahoma Film Exchange, a local microcinema dedicated to preserving and celebrating film and building community and culture on Film Row in Oklahoma City.

Alana Anderson is a multidisciplinary artist and business owner. She co-owns Mycelium Gallery, a woman-owned and family-owned art space. On this one, we take our time with the deep Bit Depth questions, and then dive back into art and what it's like owning a community-oriented gallery and business. Let's dive deeper with Alana!

Alana Anderson is a multidisciplinary artist and business owner. She co-owns Mycelium Gallery, a woman-owned and family-owned art space. You've heard from Barclay, now you get to hear from Alana. Her story is a bit different. In fact, these episodes are a bit different, too. Alana's story is so interesting and deep that we had to split her episodes into two. This first episode is about her journey in life, the role art played throughout, and how she eventually got to co-founding Mycelium Gallery with Barclay and her daughter, Gwynivere.

The way that we experience art affects how we interpret art. The way that we make art affects the way it comes into being. All this and more in this episode with Barclay Howarth, aka Clay Bar, multidisciplinary artist and business owner. She co-owns Mycelium Gallery, a woman-owned and family-owned art space in Oklahoma City. It's much more than a gallery, though. It's overflowing with community art, classes, events, live music, and more.
