About this episode

Joy and Teresa assign each other creative challenges while discussing art, time perception, and personal memories.

Sometimes creators need more than the voice in their own head--they need a nudge from a friend. Joy and Teresa assign each other surprise creative challenges in this episode, laying out a path for listeners to try their own projects. Joy kicks off the episode reporting on her visit to Milan to see DaVinci’s Last Supper. Teresa recommends an Instagram rabbit hole where followers can see famous songs coming to life, and Joy is recommending a thousand-page novel about building a cathedral. The discussion ends with contemplation of why time passes differently at various ages and phases and a memory swap of being in high school the day of the Challenger accident. ~Show Links and References~ Leonardo's Last Supper Museum Fresco Painting Method @SongsBeingMade (Account on Instagram) Ken Follett Talks About The Pillars of the Earth The Pandemic Altered Our Perception of Time Gen Xers wonder how the Space Shuttle Challenger tragedy would be handled by adults today This is a public episode.
