Hello and welcome to Artclectic New England – this is lucky Episode #13 -- it’s a program not about a particular style but a celebration of many…I’m your host, Dennise Kowalczyk. I started doing this podcast about a year ago and it was created to celebrate…spotlight…and elevate the variety of incredible arts, culture, lifestyle, and beauty found here in New England. One of the reasons I moved to RI – sight unseen – was due to what I discovered about Providence: an abundance of Arts, culture, and the humanities and all of those things are important to all who live here. My goal is to explore and share some of my discoveries with you – the listener – so thanks for tuning in! On today’s show, local stand-up comic, Kristen Ferreira shares her musings about living the new now…I’ll be sharing some music by local musician, Aubrey Atwater…another 7 & 7 with local podcaster, Robert Isenberg – host and producer of The Adventures of Elizabeth Crowne, Jenny Currier brings us Eating RIght - Adventures in Dining in the Ocean State, a new segment by Erika Smith – I heart Rhody and another new segment: Daytripping with Denny K. I also am sharing two interviews: a conversation with local author, Etta Zasloff but first, an chat with Loren Spears of the Tomaquag Museum. She serves as the executive director of the museum that is dedicated to educating the public about Indigenous history, culture, and arts. Next up, WTF – that is, What the (feh-rare-ah) – it is a segment featuring Kristen Ferreira, local comic and cat lover, who shares some of her insights about living in Rhode Island. Today, a reflection on living the ‘new now’….. Next, my recent conversation with Etta Zasloff. We chatted about her book, beginning with Xs and Os – the evolution of the alphabet, being a realistic romantic, and banning the red pen. Rhode Island might be the smallest state, but it comes with the biggest eats. From James Beard Award nominations to Bon Appetit's Top 10, Lil' Rhody punches way above its weight class in all things culinary. Jenny Currier fills us in on her latest dining adventures and her tips for your must-taste needs. Here’s Eating RIght - Adventures in Dining in the Ocean State!

And, now this month’s 7 & 7 – 7 questions in roughly 7 minutes featuring another podcast. This month, I welcome Robert Isenberg – host and producer of The Adventures of Elizabeth Crowne. Okay. One more new thing: a new segment called Daytripping with Denny K. I started daytripping back in 2014 when I was laid off from my very first job. It was a challenging and interesting time but I discovered that I could overcome the dread of job seeking for at least a few hours a month by driving to different cities within 3 hours distance from my then home town of Portland, Oregon. As I recall, I started in the fall and drove out the Columbia Gorge to visit Hood River. It was a magical experience with the foliage colors and lack of tourists swarming about. Since that initial trip, I think I've made at least twenty or so jaunts like it over the past few years. Recently, I visited Woonsocket – the city is north of Providence. I’m going to end the show some music by local musician – Aubrey Atwater with her song, The World is Old Tonight… LINKS http://freemusicarchive.org/ https://jennycurrier.com/ http://www.iheartrhody.com/ https://elizabethcrowne.podomatic.com/ https://www.ettazasloff.com/ https://www.tomaquagmuseum.org/

Hello and welcome to Artclectic New England – a program not about a particular style but a celebration of many…I’m your host, Dennise Kowalczyk. This podcast was created to celebrate…spotlight…and elevate the variety of incredible arts, culture, lifestyle, and beauty found here in New England. On today’s show, the phenom known as Anita Crackinstuff returns with Don’t Save the Laughter for After and a song by local band, Twin Foxes. But first, my interview with Elizabeth Francis of the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities. She is the executive director of the organization and we chatted a little about the history and offerings of the non-profit. You can learn more about their programs, including grants, by visiting rihumanities.org. Anita Crackinstuff. She is Big Nazo's most loyal fan, and she has something special for today’s episode of Don't Save the Laughter for After, if you know what I mean. On this month’s contribution, a conversation with Melissa Murray Mutch Jason Thompson, and John-Riley O’Handley of Gritty City Theatre about their recent performance of “Lost Park” at the Hamilton Fringe Festival in Canada. Heads: there is absolutely no connection to New England in this segment – we are trying to keep you on your toes – oh, but there is some strong language. Be sure to tune in each show for Don't Save the Laughter for After presented by Anita Crackinstuff – a hodge podge of great conversations. And, now a quick look at some of the upcoming arts and culture in the New England area: 1. Arts & Crafts on Bedford – 9/14 & 9/15 Held on Bedford Street in Downtown Stamford, CT Saturday 11am - 6pm & Sunday 10am - 5pm 100 Exhibitors 2. Orion Sun A one-woman project of Philly-based singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Tiffany Majette (Mah –j’ette), will be performed at Mass MoCa on October 19 at 8 pm 3. Paula Poundstone Live On Stage • Date: September 7, 2019 • Time: 08:00 PM - 10:00 PM • Location: 1932 Criterion Theatre, Bar Harbor, Maine I know one person who might be excited about that news – starts with an “A” and ends with an “F”, if you know what I mean… I am pleased to share that Artclectic New England is supported in part by a grant from the Department of Art, Culture, + Tourism. Thank you, City of Providence! I also want to announce that Artclectic New England has a new community partner: The New Bedford Symphony Orchestra.
