Arts What Are You Doing at 5 pm?

Posted by JEN GRAVES on August 14 at 11:47 AM

Because today at 5 pm, Artstar Radio out of Portland (“where artists talk about art”) starts its series of Seattle talks with the elusive “m” of Visual Codec. The shows are broadcast and archived here.

The schedule for Seattlemania is:
5 pm Today, M.
5 pm Aug. 21, Steven Vroom of Vroom Journal
5 pm Aug. 28, Jim Demetre of Artdish
5 pm Sept. 4, photographer and general person extraordinaire Alice Wheeler

Why doesn’t Seattle have a radio show “where artists talk about art”? Would you listen to one? If it didn’t suck? Would KEXP be the place? KPLU? KUOW? Thoughts? (I do know that Gary Faigin is on KUOW sometimes doing reviews, and he’s great—not taking anything away from him.)

Oy, of course there's Vroom! What was I thinking? But I was thinking about traditional radio. (Maybe I shouldn't be?)

I think broadcast radio would be great! I can't imagine KEXP would do it - maybe KUOW or even KBCS. They'd probably listen to a pitch (hint, hint). I'm curious about the Portland show and will tune in.

The shows are archived for 6 weeks afterwards, so if you can't make 5pm, you can tune in later.
Thanks for the interest!

Hi Jen,
I'm glad you noted Eva's broadcast. I have wondered long and hard about the missing dots in the Seattle Scene. Maybe we don't have the personalities for it. I know there are certainly plenty of artists out there that no one knows about! I like the fact that Eva's show is always one artist talking to another, it is a great platform. Plus she does kick ass research and asks the good questions. Tough shoes to fill.
