The main pods I've listened to (which are dry over the summer period) align to my interest in Formula 1, so its a very niche sort of talk show / review of the recent race, or more in depth discussion of personnel movements. Probably so boring for most people :D
The one thing I don't like about my new car, however is that I can't seem to get ABC AM radio on it, which was good for quick little bits of interesting subject material.
I should probably try to find some Art themed ones. I LOVE the Pre-Raphaelite painters, and have a large collection of books on that topic: to the point that my photography attempts to mimic their style, but I haven't actually gone out and looked for video-essays or pods that cover that niche... if they exist at all...
(If they don't, maybe I'll just have to read those books and do it myself) :D
Regarding the volunteering: it is probably something I'm going to lean into a bit heavy (with lots of intensity) because I genuinely want to see more Art stuff in my local area. I used to be involved with a Youth Advisory Council when I was a wee teen, but now I know more broadly what to expect in those community orgs.
Oh awesome, now you'll send me down a art rabbit hole. I love art history and there's a lot I don't know as I was never an artist trained in such things. I find it such an incredible way to access history. We have been watching 15 Minutes of Art Explained on YouTube which has been great - from Basquiat and other NY artists to dark Goya it's been a really interesting deep dive.
I'd love to hear about you working to bring art into the community! That's such a cool thing to do.
I can't say I am interested in Formula One 😂 - I have enough car talk with the hubs, though I have a momentary break as he sets up his bike for bike packing.
The selfish part of me is going to start with this:

However, there's a "new" Art Festival planned for the local district(s) that I attended a community info session on during the weekend, and it sounds promising if it will be able to be pulled off: the only problem, I think is going to be a lack of funding / sponsors.
They're chasing some businesses. but it will be interesting to see what happens and whether or not I can help them make a difference.
