A new DebtBusters survey shows that 70% of South Africans are still grappling with financial stress in 2025. The burden falls hardest on women, who report higher anxiety levels across home, work, and health. While inflation and loadshedding pressures have eased, according to the report most people still fear running out of money or missing debt payments. Middle-aged and high-income earners face mounting debt pressure, with many spending over 40% of their income just to repay loans. For more on this Jon Gericke spoke to Nosiphiwo Nxawe Payments & Collections Manager at DebtBusters

The Escalette Collection is honored to be home to more than 100 artworks by Inna Jane Ray and is excited to present the Inna Jane Ray Exhibit at the Hilbert Museum of California Art, running from March to August 2025. A graphic designer herself, Bonnie explains how she met Inna at Immaculate Heart College and how they became instant friends, and later roommates. Bonnie explains how the shared love and passion for art amongst their friend group blossomed into the establishment of their zine, Native, in which poetry and paintings alike were celebrated. Moreover, Bonnie provides a timeline of her friendship with Inna, shares what styles and individuals in the artworld had a significant impact on Inna, and why she is so committed to sharing Inna's work with others.  Listen along as Bonnie gives insight into navigating creative processes and the significant role that friends and family play in them, and as she celebrates the life of Inna Jane Ray.

Fueled by curiosity and endurance, Virginia has applied the lessons she learned from her experience as a marathon runner to her art. Virginia explains how her childhood spent in upstate New York significantly influenced her creative process - which is often experienced in nature, her commitment to networking within the art industry, and her goal of inspiring young artists. Much like our previous guest, artist Lorena Ochoa, Virginia uses some unconventional methods to create her art. Listen along as Virginia explains why she considers herself a “collaborator with nature” and how both the WIND and OCEAN series were created.

In this episode of The Artists is Present, host Helene Vlok interviews artist Lorena Ochoa - the newest addition to the Escalette Collection family! Lorena is a multi-media artist that draws inspiration from their childhood spent in Santa Ana, CA and addresses topics such as identity, socio-economic status, migration, art accessibility, and cowboy culture in the United States. Research, both historic and locational, is an essential part of Lorena's creative process, as is the practice of collecting numerous smaller objects, to save for when the perfect opportunity comes along to add it to new artworks. Lorena refers to these objects as “record keepers” and utilizes them in the form that they were originally found, often on construction sites, to share a message of authenticity with viewers. Listen along as Lorena explains how they source their material, the significance of locations in their work, and what advice they have for young artists still navigating their creativity.

This Tales of the Magic Skagit podcast episode encompasses two topics, which while seemingly unrelated at first consideration, actually have a common theme: the past, present, and future of the Skagit Valley as viewed through an artistic lens.We start this episode off with Laynie Moran, the Skagit County Historical Museum's Collections Manager, who is heading up a first ever art contest and exhibit with the unlikely theme, "Everyone's a Critic." This upcoming exhibit could, however, also be called "Everyone's an Artist," since the goal of Laynie's project is to showcase art from anyone in the county, regardless of age or skill level, to contribute a work of art of their own creation. The only criterion for the entries, whatever the chosen medium, is that they adhere to the theme "The Past, Present, and Future of Skagit County." Entries are due by June 1, 2025, and the exhibit opens and voting begins on June 20. Details and registration forms are available at the museum and its website, www.skagitcounty.net/museum.On the subject of Skagit Valley's past, we turn next to Ann Maroney, the office and store manager at the museum, to learn about its current exhibit on the life of Lawrence (Laurie) Wells. In describing Laurie's life, it's hard to know where to begin. He was a largely self-taught artist whose works captured the beauty of his Skagit Valley home through an astonishing number of paintings across a variety media and styles. But he and his wife, whose love story is part of the exhibit as well, were also active in the early grange and socialist movements of the early 20th century. In addition, Laurie could justifiably be called the godfather of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, thanks to his promotion of the Magic Skagit's bulb farms and his landscape design skills in showcasing them decades ago.Suffice it to say that the museum's current exhibit, "Laurie Wells: A Skagit Original," is a multi-layered tribute to an individual whose deep and abiding love of where we live combines works of art with a glimpse into lesser known aspects of Skagit Valley history that will appeal to the eye, heart, head, and soul. And with the exhibit to come in June, Skagitonians of all ages are invited to celebrate Laurie Wells' legacy in a way he would have undoubtedly appreciated: through art.

Carl visits the Museum of the City of New York where he's joined by Collections Manager for Costumes and Textiles, Elizabeth Randolph, to discuss the famous dress Alice Vanderbilt wore to her sister-in-law Alva'a ball, while inspecting the original dress itself. On the evening of March 26, 1883, Alva Vanderbilt threw her famous costume ball to officially open her new "Petit Chateau" on Fifth Avenue and to secure her place in Gilded Age society.  Her sister-in-law, Alice, not to be outdone, arrived at the ball and created  one of the most talked about fashion statements from the Gilded Age to today.  Alice had the famed British-born Parisian couturier Charles Frederick Worth design a gown that represented "electric light" - a new idea in 1883.  Encrusted with gold and silver threads, Alice's gown caught the attention of not only the guests at the ball, but the press whose reports of her dress ranged from the credible to the outrageous. Jose Mora, the noted society photographer of the era, captured Alice in a famous photograph in which Alice, wearing the dress, holds a torch high above her head.  Myths about the dress have circulated for years - that there was a concealed battery back in the bodice, that the dress itself somehow "lit up", and on and on.  Miraculously, the original dress survives today and is in the collection of the Museum of the City of New York. With deep gratitude and thanks to the Museum, I was allowed to see the actual dress and record this interview with Elizabeth Randolph. With the dress laid out before us, we explored the story of what's true, what's not, and just what effect (both visual and social) Alice would have made wearing the dress on the night of Alva's ball. 

Right here in the United States, primarily in the Midwest and Southern portion an invasion is coming. Not of aliens, of cicadas. Brood 19 and 13 have begun emerging and they haven't come out of the ground together in 221 years! Even though I recorded this episode in 2021 during Brood 10's emergence, it's worth rebooting because  periodical cicadas are unique to the U.S. The guest is entomologist Dr. Floyd Shockley, who is the Collections Manager for the Department of Entomology at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Him and I talked all about these true bugs and the importance of museum collections. You can follow him on Twitter @Beetle_Guy And you can connect with the museum @NMNH If you want to hear one of the seven species of cicadas sing their love song check out this link.  One of many cookbooks is the Cicada Cookbook and you can find it on Amazon.  If you are digging the show subscribe and share it so others can enjoy it too.

Welcome to HMSC Connects! where we go behind the scenes of four Harvard museums to explore the connections between us, our big, beautiful world, and even what lies beyond. For this week's episode host Jennifer Berglund is speaking with Adam Baldinger, the Curatorial Associate and Collections Manager of Invertebrate Zoology here at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University.

Our Prairie's Collections Manager, Rebekah Furey, Collections Assistant, Rina Sim, and Educational Curriculum Specialist, Zoe Morgan join Easton to talk about museums (which we love!). Museums are beautiful places where stories can be told from across the globe and inspire curiosity in guests of all ages. However, when we look back at the history of museums, we find that many began as wonder shows for the wealthy to share their plunder from their respective “Ages of Exploration.” Museums today have a choice to decolonize their halls. Increasing diversity at all levels of museum employment, repatriation of objects to the Native American Nations who rightfully own them, ensuring exhibitions that explore history's silenced voices are integrated and not segregated- we talk about it all on this journey!  More information about NAGPRA!  https://www.nps.gov/subjects/nagpra/index.htm  Our sources: Shoenberger, Elisa. “What does it mean to decolonize a museum?” MuseumNext (2023).  https://www.museumnext.com/article/what-does-it-mean-to-decolonize-a-museum/     Huff, Leah. “MUSEUM DECOLONIZATION: MOVING AWAY FROM NARRATIVES TOLD BY THE OPPRESSORS.” University of Washington (2022).  https://smea.uw.edu/currents/museum-decolonization-moving-away-from-narratives-told-by-the-oppressors/

Bentley Priory was home to fighter Command in the lead up to and during the Battle of Britain and explores how technology, leadership and courage forged victory, enabling Britain's darkest hour to also be her finest hour. The Museum highlights the contribution and importance of ‘The One‘, Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding, ‘The Few‘, the aircrew who took to the skies to defend  Britain, and ‘The Many‘, without whose tireless work on the ground victory would not have been possible.

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 7 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. Vanessa Eliasson interviews actor/writer Grant Goodwin in this week's first segment. Grant, whose work can be seen in such vehicles as Hart of Dixie, Tropical Cop Tales, and the upcoming season of Stranger Things, recounts his start in the business at a young age, and the pros & cons of changes he has seen over the past several years working as an actor.  The two discuss Grant's love of writing and how his work gravitates toward a more comic bend. They wrap up the conversation talking about what is taking priority in his career right now and what his hopes are for some of his recent writing projects. In segment two, Ru Chen speaks with the Public Programs and Collections Manager at the Chinese American Museum, Rachelle Shumard.  Rachelle and Ru delve into what a Public Programs and Collections Manager does in general, as well as how the pandemic caused museums and cultural centers to rethink how they operate in order to stay afloat during Covid. They also acknowledge that the virtual programing developed during the pandemic allowed greater audiences to access museum programing, and how that now is a part of museum plans even in a returning to in person programing. A self-professed lover of History, Shumard enjoys the aspects of her job that allow the community to reclaim lost or forgotten history, which can, as we learn in this segment involve events and even physical locals.

This month we are exploring oral history. Oral histories are a collection of stories, memories, and first-hand accounts to create an inclusive archive about a place, event, or community. They are available to anyone, but also have their own set of skills, best practices, and ethical guidelines. First, we spoke with Dr. Anna F. Kaplan, an oral historian, project designer, historian, and educator interested in memory and how individuals and communities remember the past and tell stories to shape the future, particularly about race in the US. You will hear more about the practice of oral history, some of her favorite projects, and what oral history has to offer to the field of public history.  We then spoke with Anne Dobberteen and Allison LaCroix about the Home/Brewed oral history project at the Heurich House Museum in Washington, D.C. Allison is the Collections Manager at Heurich House and the supervisor of the oral history program. Anne was the point person on the project and conducted the interviews. They share the history of the Heurich House, the stories captured in the oral history project, and what they tell us about immigration and D.C. history.  To learn more, visit theitps.org!

Levi Shinkle, Collections Manager for Wyoming Dinosaur Center, joins us today to share a day in the life of a dinosaur caretaker. Every discovery—no matter how revolutionary—required the careful diligence of a Collections Manager to keep the results authentic. For Levi, whose museum (which is more like an Organic Dinosaur Farm) sits at the crossroads of wonder and discovery, the responsibilities are far-reaching and vital to the living science of paleontology. Listening is only half the fun! Watch the full episode at YouTube.com/DWABA
