Ep 33. Janet Sternburg. Photographs from the pandemic in a new book titled I've Been Walking

02/21/22 • 53 min

In this episode, Gail talks with photographer/author/cultural observer Janet Sternburg. Janet has recently released a new book of art photographs, titled I've Been Walking, which documents her exploration through the streets of Los Angeles immediately following the dawning days of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. The interview covers the origin of Janet's method and the beginning of her use of the disposable camera as a tool; her contributions as an author and as an editor, in the seminal book The Writer on her Work; and her thoughts on boundaries and borders.

Ep.32.Taly Matiteyahu. Valentine's Day, the Blink Date, and the search for love

Send us a text

With Valentine's Day coming up, we look at a new dating app called The Blink Date. The idea is to pay more attention to The Voice, and less to physical cues about compatibility that sweep by on your phone screen in less than a second. Co-creator Taly Matiteyahu talks with Gail about the 'charmed moment' in a restaurant that led to the idea for the app, about some of the connections that have happened, and about their plans for live meet-ups. You can find out more at www.theblinkdate.com and on the podcast "Date in a Blink".

Subscriber-only episode

In this episode, we meet David Fishof, the mind behind Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp, where musicians spend four days or so, learning songs, playing in a band, and jamming with rock stars like Roger Daltrey, Gene Simmons, Joe Perry, Alice Cooper, Nancy Wilson, and Paul Stanley. Last year, there was a movie made about the experience, and you can see Rock Camp The Movie on Prime Video. There's more information about the camps at www.rockcamp.com.
In this conversation, I ask about the beginning of the rock camp idea, twenty-five years ago. We talk about inviting and training rock stars to be teachers, about David's wish list of future 'camp counsellors' -- Paul McCartney is at the top of it -- and about memorable experiences in his life, including discovering Julia Cameron's book "The Artist's Way".
