The guys catch up about Christian's experience at PorchFest this year, the annual Connecticut tradition where bands set up stages on neighborhood porches (and how Christian didn't move from his porch the whole time). Justin recounts the walk down memory lane he and Kate had after having Hibachi at the Sakura Japanese restaurant in Westport, CT. Then we read a letter from Kathy about how afternoon sex is the best and that noses contain erectile tissue (hence Justin's broken capillary issue), then she ends it with the saddest WYR we've ever heard. Finally, Courtney leaves a voicemail asking for the guys to break down Office Space, and she offers up a much sillier WYR.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome, Sarah Jane Mulvey, a poet, writer, and editor working a full-time job in the non-profit arts world. She received a Bachelor of Arts in Communications, Journalism, and Media from Bridgewater State University. She immediately abandoned her dreams of being a journalist because, although she had no formal training, she'd been writing creatively and dabbling in poetry since childhood. Then, around 2014, she started seriously writing and performing her poems. It was then, as she says, "I found my art friends. We established Anomaly Poetry, a collective of artists across genres and styles that have come together to perform, publish, and amplify poetic voices."  The group publishes two anthologies a year and hosts monthly open mic nights in Downtown New Bedford. In March of 2021, Sarah Mulvey applied for the City of New Bedford's Poet Laureate title and was appointed in August 2021. As Poet Laureate, she has the privilege of being invited to read at special events, chatting with local students about art and poetry, and, sharing her joy and passion for words throughout the community. The Artist Index co-founder and host, Ron Fortier, talks to Sarah Mulvey about her background, passion for poetry, and title as the City of New Bedford's Poet Laureate.

Welcome, Kyle DeCicco-Carey to In-Focus Podcast Number 161! Kyle is the Library Director at the Millicent Library in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, and speaks with us on the fifth and last episode of this series about famous Fairhaven artists. This episode is about Albertus van Beest. Our five-part series of conversations on celebrated Fairhaven artists from days gone by with Kyle have included: Podcast Episode 132  - William Bradford Podcast Episode 133 - Lemuel Eldred Podcast Episode 146 - Robert Swain Gifford Podcast Number 152 - Charles Henry Gifford This series is supported in part by a grant from the Fairhaven Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. Albertus van Beest was born in Rotterdam, where he grew up near the city's wharves. His talent for sketching got the attention of Prince Henry of the Netherlands, who asked him to travel with him and the Dutch fleet to the Mediterranean. According to the New Bedford Whaling Museum, Albert van Beest (1820-1860) "was born in Holland, [and] spent three years collaborating with William Bradford. A talented marine artist, Van Beest was particularly skilled at capturing the drama of shipwrecks and storms at sea." His travels, the first of which were over a span of three summers, took him to Morocco and many other places. He continued sketching on his travels to Brazil, Iceland, Patagonia, and the Falklands. In 1845 he left home and sailed to New York, where he lived for fifteen years. One of van Beest's pupils was Fairhaven, Massachusetts marine painter William Bradford. R. Swain Gifford is also said to have been one of his pupils. Bradford sought him out in New York and invited him to share a studio in nearby New Bedford. They worked and collaborated at that location for three years. Van Beest was as dramatic and temperamental as the scenes and subjects of his marine paintings. He returned to New York City where he died at the age of forty.

We're wrapping up our 2-part series focusing on United Way of Western CT and its partnership with Nuvance Health on an innovative "Food Farmacy" - a community-based site designed to increase access to and consumption of healthful foods for those individuals across western and southwestern Connecticut diagnosed with obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and/or hypertension. Then we'll be putting some Pride Month focus on a new and unique collaboration between Westport Pride and the Westport Museum for History & Culture - an Oral History Project aiming to fulfill the museum's mission to "make history whole" by bringing to light the hidden narratives of marginalized groups, with a specific focus on the LGBTQ+ community. And we'll close with the Education Diversity Coordinator from the CT Dept of Education - discussing a multi-faceted and well-funded commitment to fortify our state's teaching force, while expanding the diversity of educators for the benefit of all the children and youths who will learn from them.

Sharon Plunkett from Dublin and Kieran Geraghty from Westport tell Brendan how they have travelled the world by swapping houses with strangers overseas.

S2 E20. At only eight years old, Rory Bills-Everett is a prolific painter whose work has been featured in numerous exhibitions. Rory's art has been acquired by the Children's Museum of Art in NYC, and she recently had a solo exhibition at Soho House in Amsterdam. In this inspiring episode, I chat with Rory's mother, Daniela, about her daughter's emerging art career. Here's what we discuss: 1. The importance of showing your child that it's possible to pursue an art career by providing them with opportunities to share their art.2. Why it's essential to validate your child's creative journey and show them what's possible.3. How The Artist Glow-Up Program, our signature 12-week course for artists, helped Daniela and Rory to navigate the art world, ultimately leading to a solo exhibition.4. What we can learn from choosing to believe in ourselves and our work, even in the face of rejection. About Rory Bills-Everett:Rory Bills-Everett is an 8-year old contemporary abstract painter who lives and works between Lisbon, Portugal and Westport, Ireland. As an intuitive, self-taught artist, Rory's work is informed by the coastal regions in which she resides, and her paintings are ultimately a manifestation of her internal dialogue. In allowing her emotions to be represented on the canvas she provides a platform from which to converse with the viewer. Rory uses expressive brushstrokes and a vibrant, energetic color palette. She introduces texture through layering materials and ambulatory movement to draw the viewer in.Follow Rory on Instagram: @rorybillseverett_studioVisit our website: visionaryartcollective.comFollow us on Instagram: @visionaryartcollective + @newvisionarymag Join our newsletter:visionaryartcollective.com/newsletter

Nate Morefield emailed some St Patrick's Day pictures: "Hey Marc, pictures are still trickling in, but attached are a few from 3/17 and 3/18. In terms of funny material, maybe our tune Another Drink might qualify?  It's about a guy who's missing his ex, but mostly because he needs her to fix him another drink...  Just a thought." Ben Doran emailed a St Pat's photos: "Hello Marc, thanks for the invite to share photos. Here's a couple from the Friday night Wild Hog in the Woods Folk Collective's St. Patrick's Bash -  -  featuring myself, Lisa Johnson (as Leafy Greens), and friends Casey Day and Greg Matysik. And for funny songs? We there's Makem/Spain  Bros. "Mr. La DeDaDeDum", but a big bully for you if you can find the rare, "The Second Hand Trouser's I bought in Belcoo" written by Martin McConnell, I believe (brother to the excellent columnist/story teller, Cormac McConnell). Slan go foill." Melissa Wade of Wild Blue Yonder emailed some photos: "Great to hear from you, Marc! We did have a good  -  and very busy  -  St. Patrick's Day! We played three shows in three days, traveling through wind, rain and cold to several different towns. Happy belated birthday to you, as well!! Attached are a few pics from our celebrations. The posed shot is at Anakeesta Mountaintop Adventure Park in Gatlinburg, where we played on St. Patrick's Day. Taking our Irish Celtic music high up in the Great Smoky Mountains to entertain for the holiday was most fitting and special. And while the howling wind and blowing rain were less than pleasant, they gave us the sense of actually being in Ireland! Thanks again for writing, and for all you do for Celtic musicians! We love your show." Sean Malloy of Band o'Brothers emailed a photo: "Hey Marc!  Happy Belated Birthday & St. Patrick's Day!  Hope you had a wonderful time and a wonderful gig with your daughters. Attached is a picture of Band O'Brothers as we prepared to roll through the streets of New Haven in the St. Patrick's Day parade.  We had a blast playing out songs for the joyful people along the parade route, and after we completed the parade route we even stopped our float outside a neighborhood bar to play a few songs for the revelers.  We had a great day!"

Part two of Theodore Durrant is here and we start off with Blanche Lamont's body being discovered. When you hear the difference between the state of Blanche's body in comparison to Minnie's you will be absolutely baffled. But have no fear, Alaina shares with us a theory as to why both bodies were found in such different states. We then go through the trial and find out whether Theo will pay for these crimes with his life, or get off scot-free.Daily Inter Ocean. 1895. "Another Body Found."

Theodore Durrant was the last person anyone would have assumed to commit a brutal murder, let alone two. He was well-known in town and well-liked. He served the town in countless ways; as the handyman for the church, the handyman to all his friends and neighbors, assistant superintendent of the church's Sunday School and all around friendly and giving man. But soon he would be linked to two absolutely horrific murders of two young women in town that he'd had relations with. Ones body would be discovered in the church that Theo seemed to love and the other? Well you'll have to wait for part two for that discovery.Daily Inter Ocean. 1895. "Another Body Found."
