Influencers (No, Not That Kind!)

From Sylvia Plath to Wayne Thiebaud, Joy and Teresa are talking about the creators who’ve inspired and influenced their work. Whether it’s Plath’s ability to impart “an impression of a feeling that you don’t know what to do with,” or Thiebaud’s colorful shadows, these old-school influencers are at the heart of an interesting discussion about early inspirations. In Rabbit Holes and Recommendations, Teresa talks about the Symbolism Movement and her discovery of a haunting painting, while Joy recommends an under-the-radar Jack London book. The unlikely piece-de-resistance of the episode occurs when Joy closes the episode quizzing Teresa on 1980s alcoholic beverages, including the (thankfully) long-forgotten Hairy Buffalo. ~Show Links and References~The Applicant by Sylvia PlathThe New Oxford Book of American VerseArtist Wayne ThiebaudIsland of the Dead by Arnold BöcklinHairy Buffalo Drink RecipeThe History of Wine Coolers This is a public episode.
