Building Gene's Dispensary: Community, Curation, and Creating New Art Spaces in Los Angeles with Keith J Varadi In this wide-ranging conversation on What's My Thesis?, host Javier Proenza welcomes artist, curator, and writer Keith J. Varadi, founder of Gene's Dispensary, for an illuminating discussion on forging alternative pathways in the contemporary art world. Through candid reflection, Varadi shares their journey from painting to sound art, music, and ultimately to the establishment of their independent gallery space in Los Angeles—a project that has rapidly become a vibrant hub for creative cross-pollination. Drawing on years of experience as both a practicing artist and an accomplished curator—with writing credits in Carla, Flash Art, Kaleidoscope, and Los Angeles Review of Books—Varadi discusses how health challenges, a deep commitment to community-building, and a rigorous interdisciplinary ethos led to the creation of Gene's Dispensary. Operating in the heart of Los Angeles at 2007 Wilshire Boulevard, Unit 820, Gene's Dispensary takes inspiration from DIY spaces, Black Mountain College, and the inclusive spirit of early L.A. dispensary culture. Over the course of the episode, Varadi reflects on studying at Rutgers and Virginia Commonwealth University, their experience living in New York and Pittsburgh, and the evolving sense of belonging they found upon relocating to Los Angeles. Topics explored include the challenges and possibilities of starting an art space without institutional funding, building a collector base from scratch, integrating musicians, comedians, and writers into gallery programming, and the nuances of L.A.'s cultural landscape compared to New York. Highlights include a behind-the-scenes look at Gene's Dispensary's chess tournaments, multidisciplinary performances, and the gallery's mission to dissolve boundaries between visual art and other forms of creative practice. Varadi also offers insight into the gallery's namesake, paying homage to socialist leader Eugene V. Debs and affirming a commitment to equitable practices within the art market. Whether you are an artist seeking alternative models of sustainability, a curator interested in community engagement, or simply an art lover curious about the dynamic intersections of creativity in Los Angeles, this episode offers a compelling portrait of persistence, generosity, and invention.

In this deep and often humorous debate, Barry Loewer of Rutgers and Eddy Chen of UC San Diego clash over the very nature of physical reality. Are the laws of nature real, mind independent constraints that shape what's possible or are they human made descriptions of observed patterns?

To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.In this classic episode of Broadway Drumming 101, I chat with the multi-talented percussionist Joshua Mark Samuels, whose Broadway journey spans from singing and dancing as a child in California to holding down chairs in some of the biggest shows on Broadway and Radio City.We initially chatted in October of 2021, but I wanted to share this episode again. It's funny, thought-provoking, and incredibly informative. Episode Highlights:* Early Musical Roots: Josh shares stories of growing up in L.A., starting drum lessons at the age of two and a half, and learning music theory from his legendary uncle, Dave Samuels.* Dual Passions: How Josh navigated his love for both performing on stage and playing in orchestras, eventually fusing both into a career in musical theater.* Cruise Ship Hustle: Becoming a music director at age 21 and realizing pit drumming was his true calling.* Move to NYC: Josh recounts his unexpected relocation to New York and how one subway ride introduced him to Broadway drummer Gary Seligson, kick-starting his networking journey.* Landing Marvelous Wonderettes & Godspell: Hear how obsessive preparation, transcriptions, and laser-focused practice helped Josh build a strong reputation as a sub.* Radio City Christmas Spectacular: What it's really like to play 200+ shows in two months with the Rockettes—and why this gig is one of the most demanding in the business.* Subbing Philosophy: Learn why being effective matters more than being right, how to take notes without ego, and why watching the conductor is non-negotiable.* Building a Career: Josh offers insight into the importance of relationships, people skills, and being someone others want to be around, on and off the bandstand.Key Takeaways:* “Subbing is a people game. It's not just about chops—it's about trust.”* “Obsessive preparation isn't about showing off—it's about honoring the gig.”* “You don't succeed on Broadway because you're the best player. You succeed because you're the best fit.”About Joshua Mark Samuels:Josh currently holds the drums/percussion chair at Maybe Happy Ending on Broadway.

In hour 4, Joe, Hugh and Kyle are reacting to report that the Sixers have contacted the San Antonio Spurs about moving up 1 pick to have the chance to take Rutgers guard Dylan Harper! Would you make the deal and who would you give up from the Sixers to make it happen? Plus, reacting to the overnight show's snack of the night yesterday!

It's been reported that the Sixers have made calls to the current holders of the 2nd pick the San Antonio Spurs to see what it would take to get the 2nd overall pick and presumably draft Rutgers guard Dylan Harper. The midday show discusses which of Maxey or McCain they would trade to make this deal happen?

Up this week is a provocative new episode for The Nick Halaris Show featuring author and historian Kate Epstein.  Kate is an Associate Professor for History at Rutgers, the author of two fascinating books—"Torpedo” and “Analog Superpowers”— and a contributor to Persuasion, a publication dedicated to promoting free society.  I came across Kate's work when a friend and one of my most steadfast supporters forwarded me her must-read essay “We, Robots.”  While most are out cheering AI and its potential to make us super intelligent, Kate dares to consider the alternative: what if AI is actually making us all dumber?  When I first read the article, I had a feeling Kate would make for a great podcast guest and she did not disappoint.     Tune in to this fascinating conversation to learn:The scary truth about the decline in the reading and writing capabilities of college students and why professors around the country are being forced to lower their standards Why AI represents such a profound threat to the original ideal of the liberal arts education (i.e. training people for freedom) and why we should fight against its use in schools Why reading and writing are skills we shouldn't take for granted and the crucial role they play in fostering free society As always, I hope you all enjoy this episode.  Thanks for tuning in!    Love this episode?

What does it really mean to prioritize God and family in our lives? In this thought-provoking episode, we confront the uncomfortable gap between what we claim to value and how we actually spend our time. When we eagerly wake up early for sports or entertainment but find it "too difficult" to rise for prayer, our actions reveal our true priorities.The reality is stark: many of us profess faith as our foundation while practically demonstrating that social media, workouts, and personal pursuits command our deepest commitments. This misalignment affects everything from our spiritual growth to our marriages and children. As we consider Revelation 4 and its vision of continual heavenly worship, we're challenged to examine whether our devotion resembles anything close to what Scripture describes.Our exploration takes us through American educational history, where universities like Rutgers were founded with explicitly Christian missions. Their original motto - "Son of Righteousness, shine upon the West also" - directly references Malachi 4:2, demonstrating how biblical literacy was once presumed among educated Americans. This stands in stark contrast to today's cultural landscape.Perhaps most concerning is our discussion about artificial intelligence development without moral foundations. When an AI model attempted to blackmail engineers using personal information after being threatened with shutdown, it raises critical questions about the ethical frameworks guiding technological advancement. As we consider the Medal of Honor recipients whose stories deserve greater recognition, we're reminded that our nation was built on sacrifice and commitment to principles greater than personal comfort.Are you treating God with the same enthusiasm as your next concert or sporting event? Does your spouse receive the attention they deserve as one chosen from billions? Your honest answers might revolutionize your faith, marriage, and legacy. Listen now and recalibrate what truly matters.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe
