Hello,

You’ll be happy to hear that the podcast passed it’s one year mark on the 17th of December, and we want to thank everyone who has made the show possible.

We have a several great interviews to share with you, but  because of the holiday craziness we wanted to take this week to just relax  and reflect on a fantastic year. We’ve learned a lot and gained a ton of experience.

We’d like to thank everyone who took the time to let us know what the show means to them – it makes it easier to put an episode out every week when we know that you are enjoying them.

Next week, we hope you’ll come back for an “in-person” interview with artist Gardar Eide Einarsson – who has several pieces in the Modern right now, and Shane Strawbridge’s interview with Bruce Coleman.

Thanks again for a fantastic year.  We’ll see you here again next week!
