The Cardinal Wyszynski
Memory Chips
04/04/23 • 14 min
In the absence of live Polish friends available for "Chip Talk"--I instead reveal my ignorance about my relative, the esteemed and honorable Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski.
The only thing I knew about the Cardinal before researching for this episode is that he
is the spitting image of my Grandfather, Floyd Weshinskey, and my nephew (who is named after Floyd!)

In 1989 my husband, Árni Gu∂mundsson , accidentally burnt down the sculpture department of the Swedish Royal Academy of Art .** He recounts the trauma of that experience on the occasion of our anniversary.
Our last anniversary episode involved trigger warnings, and so does this one: there is mention of police violence, sexual assault, and, or course, fire.
Lagom is the Swedish idea/lifestyle of "just so".
All Bags from Sweden:
OLW Jalepeno Yoghurt
OLW Wafflecut Cheddar and Chipotle
OLW BigCut Jalepeno and Ranch
Estrella "West Coast" Chips: Garlic, Chive, and Chili
Gårdschips Piri Piri and Roasted Garlic
OLW "Delichips" Mild Chili and Sour Cream
Estrella Double Cheese and Chili
Estrella Hot, Sweet Chili
OLW Grilled Cheddar Chilis
OLW Chili and Bernaise sauce
OLW Sour Cream and Sweet Chili
Estrella Hot Sweet Chili
For the record--all the chips, with the exception of the Gårdschips, tasted exactly the same.
**Not to be confused with the second time the sculpture department caught on fire on Skeppsholmen in September 2016**

Trainspotting with Charlotte Hagström
Memory Chips
11/29/22 • 33 min
Why did I think it was a good idea to collect potato chip bags? I asked ethnologist, Charlotte Hagström about that, and she told me that it is a normal impulse . . . if I were a child . . . or an artist :)
As a Senior Professor at Lund University in Sweden, Charlotte has done research on Swedish Fredagsmys (Friday Coziness), bicycles and their riders, female railway conductors, and collectors and collecting!
She is currently a research coordinator at the Swedish National Railroad Museum

Circus Communications with Holly Treddenick
Memory Chips
10/18/22 • 30 min
The last time I saw Holly Treddenick I was dressed in a nude leotard. Things like this can happen when you take part in circus incubators, and other creative events that are concerned with communication between artists and audiences.
Also, the last time I saw Holly Treddenick in Toronto, I bought some bags of chips:
2 different version of Ruffles All-Dressed!
Creative incubators, face licking, and how the rest of the world can learn what circus people already know: Communication is key.

Ludvig Ödman: Mission Accomplished
Memory Chips
10/04/22 • 30 min
It takes more than one onion to make a collection of onions. Ludvig Ödman is a collector from Sweden whose favorite chip flavor is "Triple Onion" (because one isn't enough!)
Ludvig collects belly button lint, and various bodily sheddings--but his most recent and important collecting work involves selling prints of his drawings to collect money for Ukraine aid. Then he takes that money and uses it to collect vehicles and supplies which he then transports from Sweden to Ukraine.
Flavors (from Sweden):
*Estrella Triple Onion
*Estrella Warm Sandwich
*OLW Chipotle and Cheese
*OLW BBQ vs. Cola

Last episode I spoke with the "Yes Lady" Lindsay Anderson in Taber, Alberta about the strange path that led to her starting a soup business.
Today, we get crackin' on writing our own obituaries, or at least talking about some of the obituaries in Lindsay's collection!
Kettle Brand Apple Cider Vinegar Chips from Niagara Falls, Canada remind us that 'sour' is just another way of saying "tangy"!

Berea Promise

LaMonika Dent, Robert Emmill, and Yer Mama. I mean Luke.
Berea College makes promises:
Berea is the only one of America’s top colleges that makes a no-tuition promise to every enrolled student.
Based on the concept of educational equality--no student pays for tuition. But how does this promise stack up in practice? We unpack that.
Commencement speaker Geoffrey Canada
Bags: Utz Onion and Garlic, Uncle Ray's Hatch Chile and Queso, Hen of the Woods brand Touch of Smoke, and Buttermilk Chive
At the end of the discussion there is mention of a 2020 Berea graduate named "Aziz". This article about Aziz is a fascinating read:

Pat Arnao, ITALIAN
Memory Chips
09/05/23 • 28 min
Patricia Arnao is a multimedia visual artist who was one of the first artists -in-residence at our art space in Turkey. Then I started a new one and I invited her to be first because she's Number 1!!!
Pat showed up in West Virginia fresh off her most recent trip to Sicily, where she was taking care of legal business as part of her Italian citizenship application. Over our Happy Hour Aperol Spritzes, we dove into why Americans are obsessed with Italy, Italian and American culture, and, of course, potato chips.
Cameo by my beloved, Árni.
Bags:
*Le Contadine--Mediterranean Flavor (Tomato Basil)
*San Carlo--Salami and Fennel
*San Carlo--Vivace (Spicy)
