Amanda, Duncan and Richard talk to Collectors and swell hosts Curt and Jennifer Conklin. Rapping! Ranting!!

The Residency is coming soon!

The Blog is now at www.badatsports.com

On this week's show Duncan and Richard talk to Gregory Knight Deputy Commissioner/Visual Arts of the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. Kathryn Born interviews Brian Shannon on the wild and wacky world of insuring art collections. Big Red and Shiny checks in from Boston. Brian Andrews talks about the East Bay. Jason Dunda is on for a minute or so to make fun of incoming art undergrads and Duncan and Richard as they played docent for his first year students! It's like 8 shows rolled into one!

NOTE: Duncan loves the US of A and doesn't really want to relive the war of 1812, it's just that Richard's Canada bashing hurts his soft dandy-ish soul.

PLEASE NOTE: STARTING THIS WEEK OUR FOCUS SHIFTS TO WWW.BADATSPORTS.COM SO COME ON OVER AND POST YOUR PITHY COMMENTS OVER THERE! WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU!!

Artists and cultural producers discuss how their podcasts, forums, blogs and festivals are bringing new intimacy and openness to Chicago's art scene. Panelists include: Richard Holland, Duncan MacKenzie, Amanda Browder from Bad at Sports; Ed Marszewski from Lumpen, Version and Select Media Festival; David Roth and Wesley Kimmler from Shark Forum.

Amanda and Richard talked to loads of folks in the Peoria Street area for the 2006-2007 season kick off, maybe even you! Lots of people you know or have heard of get drunk and say embarrassing things! Awesome!

Also, Brian Andrews sets the world straight on how totally fucking stupid Burning Man is. MTV owns you, you sad, sad west-coasters who have more money than imagination, fuck the pre-packaged and throw your own damn party.

Damn, the Touch and Go party was mind blowing.

Not to be missed, come throw stuff at people.

Tony Tasset, what a damn nice guy. This week we visited the Tasset/Ledgerwood studio-fortress complex. We drove in a rented Humvee for hours into the jungle and were ushered in by the armed guard. The interview is not to be missed. The outro to this show has a special cameo by Dominic Molon.
