AWFW is a media and guest-spotlight podcast presented by The Baumann arts venue. Having been an active DIY performance space for some years, we have developed relationships with a large number of artists across disciplines. During Covid-19, we were compelled to platform collaborators digitally, and we thought a reflective, interview format would be the best way to do so (frankly we also just wanted to hang out with them). We hope you enjoy the array of voices- poets, musicians, playwrights, dancers, filmmakers, and more.
The creators and cast of the play "6 Shooter" join the podcast. The play is a western with a focus on the mythos of guns.
