To start our 14th season of the podcast we have a panel featuring guest host Kathy King talking with Dustin Yaeger, Joy Kin, and Connor Czora in front of a live studio audience at this year’s NCECA conference in Salt Lake City. Philosopher and educator John Dewey wrote, “The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.” Today’s episode explores the self-revelation that happens through art making, and how recent societal and political changes are impacting LGBTQIA+ artists. Special thanks to NCECA for co-producing this episode and to Cole Collier for running the sound for the podcast room this year.

I want to send out a special shout out to today’s host Kathy King, along with Matt and Rose Katz to congratulate them on their 100th episode of For Flux Sake. That dropped this week and is available on all major podcast apps. I’ve had a great time making that show with them over the last four years and I’m proud that they are a part of the Brickyard Network.
