Interloper (n.) - a person who becomes involved in a situation where they are not wanted or are considered not to belong. Through creativity and curiosity to learn, The Interloper Podcast aims to nuance conversations that are too often simplified into a two-sided debate. Join hosts Tiffany Danielle Elliott and Connor Walden as they talk with various Interlopers to ask all the wrong questions and to challenge what we think we know. Interloper is a series of conversations taking place across art exhibitions, podcasts, and more. Take part in the current conversation at www.interloperinterloper.com. Interloper is a project of The Milkshake Club, powered by Shunpike.

What happens when all of the rent a tenant pays makes them a collective owner in their arts studio building in Georgetown? Should we give land back to Indigenous Tribes? Can ideas be property? Interloper discusses the unique legal anomaly that created Equinox Studios and the values that complicate the way we approach ownership with founder Sam Farraizano and manager Melissa Knowles. A note on Bleeping: At Interloper we normally don't censor or bleep anything out, to discourage the thought that there are things we are not supposed to say, but you will hear one in this episode. In this particular episode, there was one phrase Sam wanted bleeped out, and so to respect the wishes of our guests, we inserted a singular bleep.
