The Lunchbox 2020-06-01: Art In All Times

On the show:

  • I didn’t get the chance to say it on the show, but shouldn’t every day be Say Something Nice Day?
  • I picked an interview I did with Lesandra Dodson of Solo Chicken Productions from back in 2019. She is leaving the company, so I wanted to share with you our talk on The Despot.
  • And speaking of art! I picked the interview with James Wilson from 2014 on his exhibit Redeemed, all about the restoration production of the Fred Ross mural at UNB.
