In an era where data is currency, safeguarding your personal and financial information has never been more critical. While we've been conditioned to create robust passwords and implement basic privacy measures, disturbing revelations have come to light about the extent of financial surveillance impacting all citizens. Nicholas Anthony from the Cato Institute shares that as governmental policies have quietly opened the door to unprecedented monitoring, it's imperative we educate ourselves on this complex issue. With your privacy and security at stake, understanding the realities of financial surveillance is the first step toward protecting what matters most.

Welcome to another conversation from the high/low art divide between opera-singer-turned-experimental-performer Ema Katrovas and comedian-and-TV-writer-turned-novelist Nicholas Anthony.  I was going to put the film the Sudbury Devil (whose creator I interviewed on this podcast) to rest - but then I stumbled across Susan Sontag's essay “Notes on Camp” and I realised “camp” kind of explains EVERYTHING about how Nick and I (i.e. a comedian and an opera singer) had very different reactions to this film - namely why Nick HATED it and I didn't. So what does “camp” have to do with certain corners of YouTube, the piece of outsider cinema called the Sudbury Devil, and how might it explain why two people might have different reactions to a particular work of art? Timestamps: 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:02 Conversation about why Nick didn't like the Sudbury Devil  00:34:44 Interlude and disclaimer to the creators of the film (“the opposite of love isn't hatred, it's indifference”)  00:35:66 Understanding Susan Sontag's “Notes on Camp”  00:53:58 Why camp MIGHT explain Nick's dislike of the Sudbury Devil (disclaimer: this features Ema's hot take on camp which she may revise)  01:08:40 So what is camp? (and final thoughts on Sudbury Devil)  01:12:59 Outro  My interview with Andrew Rakich on the Sudbury Devil: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/artistsontheverge/episodes/52-A-Friendly-Debate-With-Andrew-Rakich-On-His-Epic-Micro-budget-Film---The-Sudbury-Devil-e2euolq Links:

Welcome to another conversation from the high/low art divide between opera-singer-turned-experimental-performer Ema Katrovas and comedian-and-TV-writer-turned-novelist Nicholas Anthony.  This episode is the second half of a two-part series recorded in New York City - this time, fresh off of our experience of Sleep No More at the the McKittrick Hotel, an immersive theatre experience created by the British theatre company Punchdrunk. So what is Sleep No More? Is it a theatrical experience based on Shakespeare's MacBeth, Alfred Hitchcock's film noir Rebecca, and a real witch trial that took place in 1697 in Scotland, which is how it's advertised? Or is it an aesthetic haunted house? Or is it just an elaborate method of selling cocktails? Let's find out... Sleep No More website: https://mckittrickhotel.com/events/sleep-no-more/ Music: The bar did not end up getting back to me about who was playing live music that night. If I ever find out, will credit the musician/singer here. (If you or someone you know played Scallywags Irish Pub on 9th Ave Between 38th and 39th street late on January 10th, please let me know!) As background for my description of the experience, I used a recording someone uploaded to YouTube after smuggling a recording device into Sleep No More (!) - given that it's been up for a while, it seems the creators don't mind much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYg0thPEPVw&t=2602s Peggy Lee's rendition of "Is That All There Is?": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sWTnsemkIs Links:

Welcome to another conversation from the high/low art divide between opera-singer-turned-experimental-performer Ema Katrovas and comedian-and-TV-writer-turned-novelist Nicholas Anthony.  This episode is the first half of a two-part series recorded in New York - in this case, directly at the Metropolitan Opera. We recorded this episode sitting in our seats in the Family Circle, during both intermissions and right after the end of a performance of Zefirelli's classic production of Puccini's La Boheme, one of the most popular, if not the most popular, operas of the last century and, even better, one that tells the story of aspiring artists.

Comedian-and-TV-writer-turned-novelist Nicholas Anthony and opera-singer-turned-experimental-performer Ema Katrovas talk to William Deresiewicz, author of /Death of the Artist: How Creatives Struggle to Survive In the Age of Billionaires and Big Tech/. This book argues that artists have a harder time making a middle class living today than in previous generations - but is this true? And how does it effect the art and entertainment that's made today? Here is the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/p3YIytFgvAY Timestamps might be off by about 30 seconds: 00:00:00 Intro: The Two Stories Told About Being an Artist 00:01:04 Why did /Death of the Artist/ need to be written now? 00:02:31 But hasn't it ALWAYS been hard to be an artist? 00:05:03 How is all this unique to artists? Aren't a lot of middle-class professions in danger? 00:06:08 What is Art with a capital “A” and why is it under threat? 00:09:06 The TV Renaissance is Over (Amending the section on TV in /Death of the Artist/) 00:11:06 Is interviewing 140 artists really representative of the arts industry? 00:15:56 Is it helpful for individual artists to look at the issues of the arts industry ? 00:17:58 Is art really “boring” now? And why does William Deresiewicz not watch movies in movie theatres? 00:21:16 Blockbusterisation and the loss of the creative middle class 00:25:15 But isn't there actually a glut of good content now? (going back to the article “We're all Bored of Culture Now”) 00:32:22 Isn't journalism a form of art? And is it not subjective? (i.e. Nick pushes back) 00:34:04 Blaming wokeness for boring art 00:43:12 What if you're depressed after reading /Death of the Artist/? Is there an actionable takeaway? 00:45:35 How do you reconcile pouring your youth and talent into an arts education that has no chance of leading to a satisfying career? How to repurpose creative skills? 00:52:06 What does the gamification of internet popularity say about the value of art? How does the internet lower the time and skill put into creative endeavours? 00:58:12 The 1000 true fans model - does it work? 00:59:07 “Everyone is an artist”: The Romantic myth that led to the Silicon Valley myth / David Graeber and Nicka Dubrovsky's essay “Another Art World” 1:03:50 The lifecycle of an artist and how artists are discouraged as children 1:06:32 Saying goodbye (jazz clubs and experimental theatre shows we're going to see) Links to stuff we talk about: The Death of the Artist: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250125514/thedeathoftheartist Article “We're all Bored of Culture”: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/bored-of-culture-william-deresiewicz Article “On Not Drinking the Kool Aid”: https://salmagundi.skidmore.edu/articles/434-on-not-drinking-the-kool-aid

Welcome to another conversation from the high/low art divide between opera-singer-turned-experimental-performer Ema Katrovas and comedian-and-TV-writer-turned-novelist Nicholas Anthony. For this end-of-the-year episode, Nick and Ema decided to talk about The Beatles and their influence on a few pieces of “high art”: new journalist Joan Didion's essay “The White Album” and avant garde singer Cathy Berberian's covers of Beatles' songs. They also briefly talk about American composer Ned Rorem's essay “The Music of the Beatles”. Their starting point is a 2021 documentary by Peter Jackson, Get Back. Nick and Ema circle around the question: Were the Beatles exceptional, lucky, or both? Does one need opportunity or even fame to create one's best work? Is trying to tell a story about the Beatles, or any other iconic artist, that answers these questions even useful?  Music excerpts from this episode:  Revolution 9 from the Beatles' White Album (1968) Gavin Bryars' “Jesus' Blood Never Found me Yet”(1971) Cathy Berberian's cover of “She's Got a Ticket to Ride” (1977)  Cathy Berberian's Stripsody (1966)  Things mentioned in the episode (in order of appearance): “Now and Then” (new Beatles' song): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Opxhh9Oh3rg Deresiewicz's essay “We're All Bored of Culture Now”: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/bored-of-culture-william-deresiewicz Get Back, the Beatles documentary by Peter Jackson (it didn't come out “last year” like we said but in 2021): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles:_Get_Back Bernstein's lecture on the Beatles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v32U0mjGz6g Rick Beato's music channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RickBeato Joan Didion's book of essays “The White Album”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_Album_(book) Ned Rorem's essay “The Music of the Beatles”: https://jdsalas.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/article-the-music-of-the-beatles-.pdf Susan Sontag's “Notes on Camp”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notes_on_%22Camp%22 Collection of academic essays on Cathy Berbarian: https://www.routledge.com/Cathy-Berberian-Pioneer-of-Contemporary-Vocality/Karantonis-Placanica-Verstraete/p/book/9780367669294  Links:

An Opera Singer and a Comedian Walk Into a Bar is a segment of the Artists on the Verge podcast which features conversations from the high/low art divide between comedian and TV writer Nicholas Anthony and your host Ema Katrovas. In this episode Nick and Ema attempt to finish reading the chapter on the film industry from William Dereziewits's Death of the Artist. They also talk about some real-life stories from trying to make it in the film and TV industry and quite a bit about YouTube and the small YouTube creator strategy, including a detour on the canceling of YouTuber Lindsey Ellis.

In this episode, Nick and Ema start reading the chapter on the film and TV industry in Death of the Artist (a book they discussed in the last episode after meeting the author) - which sets them off on some controversial subjects, including women in the film industry, with mixed results (Ema gets something like feminist revenge when she expresses her oddly strong distaste for the movie The Social Network.)

It features your host, opera-singer-turned-experimental-performer Ema Katrovas, talking to comedian-and-TV-writer turned-novelist Nicholas Anthony. They have conversations from across the high/low art divide with the goal of being honest about what a life centering art - high or low - actually looks like.  In this episode it's story time - Nick goes down the memory line of his “true Hollywood experience” complete with agents and writers' rooms and making sizzles. Nick and Ema also talk about the NACAs (National Association for Campus Activities), something Ema never heard of before but which apparently launches some performance careers in the US. They talk about the beautiful netherworld of regional entertainment scenes and about the disappearance of the Hollywood middle-class, and do a little detour on the 80-year-old mime living behind a curtain who used to be Nick's housemate.

They'll be having conversations from across the high/low art divide with the goal of being honest about what a life centring art - high or low - actually looks like. In this first episode, Nick and Ema end up talking about an artist's education and the different forms it takes on the high and low part of the spectrum. They also talk about the fertile soil which was the open mic at Acme, a Minneapolis-based club where Nick did stand up for the first time, do a little detour on the matriarchs in Ema's family and living under communism, and talk about how sometimes it's necessary to totally reinvent yourself - as Nick and Ema have both done, on some level.

Interest in central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) has dramatically increased over the past few years. What was once limited to passing ideas in academic papers has now become a leading policy discussion. Yet with it has also come a growing concern for the future of freedom. Will CBDCs spell doom for financial privacy? Do they pose a fundamental threat to the banking system?

  The so-called "infrastructure bill" that Congress has been working to pass has a lot of questionable provisions. Buried within this multi-trillion dollar spending package are a couple of passages that could decide the fate of cryptocurrency. Nicholas Anthony has some timely questions on the matter. While we're on the subject of blockchain technology, there's a story you should hear about how the blockchain prevented digital book burning. Chris Campbell explains how this technology is a marvelous hedge against our modern day censors and book burners. The political actors in Washington D.C. deserve as little of our time and attention as possible. Having said that, Glenn Greenwald has an excellent article on how civil liberties are being trampled by the shameless opportunists and power-seekers who are pushing the "insurrection" narrative in Congress's 1/6 committee.

Thomas Harrington has an excellent article on the frightened class and how they've bought into the fear being pumped at us around the clock. Kendall Whiting from my sponsor Lifesaving Food joins me to share a letter he and other food storage distributers received from Readywise Food regarding price hikes and supply chain concerns. If there's something you anticipate needing/wanting in the next year or so, now may be the time to get it. Of all the battles being fought around us, the one in which each of us has a stake is the war that's being waged against reality. Vasko Kohlmayer does a terrific job of describing the great struggle of our time and how we are being required to reject reality. The term "enemy of the state" carries some pretty serious baggage. However, as Jeff Minnick explains, once you understand what the state is up to in regards to separating you from your natural rights, being labeled an enemy of the state should be a badge of honor.
