Mary Beth Eversole - Invisible Wounds Become Visible: Creativity and the Human Experience
Our intern, Dominic Dakovich, is joined today by the multi-talented Mary Beth Eversole to talk about her dynamic career as a vocalist, voice over artist, actor, writer and director. She gives us an inside look on how art heals and helps us process trauma. Mary Beth finds herself at the intersection of art and human connection and has had a rich and varied career in acting, theatre, television, and film. She shares her experience amplifying unheard voices in mainstream media, support for the "Me Too" movement, and talks about projects she has led in both LA and in Fort Collins. We think you will love this honest and heartfelt episode with the incredibly insightful and talented Mary Beth Eversole.

David Stull - Life in the Key of Curiosity Sharp
This week on the Arts Alcove Podcast, we’re doing something a little different in honor of a very exciting change coming soon to the Alcove. Starting this spring, we will be featuring students from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music alongside our other incredible Alcove Artists. Here to talk about those students, the San Francisco Conservatory, and his personal journey and guiding principles is SFCM’s president David Stull with Off the Hook Arts’ Director Jephta Bernstein.
They discuss curiosity as an essential trait, teaching humanity equal to technique as part of conservatory curriculum, and Stull's exciting plans for the future of Opus 3 as a layered force for good in the world of music. As Stull would say "being curious is key", so if you're curious as to what those plans might be, tune in on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Vi Wickam - Creating an Album in Today's World
This week on the Arts' Alcove Podcast, Dom and our guest Vi Wickam get into the nitty gritty of what it takes to release an album today.
"There's a whole team of people that are required to get an album out the door; and then to promote it. So it's not enough to just create an album that's a good album."
You'll have to tune in to find out whether putting an album into the world today is easier or harder than it used to be! Listen to this week’s episode of the Arts’ Alcove Podcast below, on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Ryan Marvel - Rising to the Challenge of Hope
Ryan Marvel and Dominic Dakovitch provide some much-needed optimism this week as they discuss how to overwhelm hatred and division with love and comfort. Marvel describes "The Winter Solstice Miniatures" as an appreciation for the restfulness of winter. He's enjoyed releasing the trio of duets as they reflect "Where we are now as a society. Just kind of be patient and hoping that things are gonna get better as we head towards spring."
Thank you for kicking off our second season of the Arts' Alcove Podcast, Ryan!

Robbie Mann - The Art of Honest Exaggeration
This week Dominic was joined by painter Robert Mann IV (though he prefers you just call him Robbie). Robbie's paintings and pastel works are primarily caricatures of emotion, behavior, or "grotesque" human experience. But he and Dom talk through how "gross" something can really be if we all experience it. Mann's art is colorful, eye-catching, and humorous; and as long as you have SOME reaction to it, Mann is happy. Thank you for joining us, Robbie!
