In this week's episode, we’re excited to share some arts news and upcoming work from our friends at Iowa Dance Festival. Then, we’ll talk with student and talent buyer for Scope Productions, Kevin Trunda, followed by a conversation with writer, drag artist, and adjunct professor Sara McGuirk.
This episode features music by Gossip Cult and Alex Body. As of December 2020, we have removed this episode’s Song of the Week segment, which featured a track by Gloom Balloon. Since the original release of this episode, we have reviewed new information and determined that supporting work by this artist conflicts with our organizational values and programmatic policies.
Thank you to Goodfellow Printing, Shive-Hattery, RSVP, and Taxes Plus for sponsoring this episode.
