Arts & Culture Podcasts

Art Grind is a podcast for and about artists, art lovers and art professionals. It is a social practice of giving back to the art community of which we are a part and explores the process, content, concept and motivation behind art making of both established and emerging artists and the people who bring that art to a wider audience. We are artists ourselves and wear many hats, including curation, art writing and art teaching. We share a passion for authentic and skilled art making, be it trained or self-taught. Whether in the studio, on your lunch hour or chilling out after a long day of hustle, have a listen while we explore, along with our guests, the backstories of what we fondly call “the art grind”.

Ep: 100 Talon Stradley - The Song Is Never Done

6/12/2023
This is a special episode produced by Talon Stradley of Newton's Dark Room with a short intro by Art Grind producer Tun Myaing and host Marshall Jones. Talon has an amazing podcast titled The Song is Never Done where he explores Walter Martin's album The Bear. This is a collaborative project because we interviewed Walter Martin who's album cover was featured by another past guest of ours - Hollis Heichemer. Following a long career in bands like The Walkmen and Jonathan Fire Eater, musician Walter Martin crafted his 6th studio album, The Bear, warmed by a wood burning stove in a bright red one-room schoolhouse. Tackling themes of family, art, and the changing seasons of life, the album resonated with host Talon Stradley as his own seasons changed. Part memoir, part musical analysis, The Song Is Never Done is a track by track exploration of Walter Martin’s album The Bear. To help us along the way is Walter Martin himself as well as his collaborators, peers, and appreciators like Matt Berninger of The National, Eric D. Johnson of Fruit Bats and Bonny Light Horseman, jazz singer-songwriter Kat Edmonson, Oscar-nominated composer Emile Mosseri, many more, and even Walter’s mom. So stop in your tracks, take stock in where you’re at, and get ready to meet The Bear. There are 4 more episodes left in the season of The Song Is Never Done, released biweekly on Thursday.
