Welcome to One More Thing(s), the bite-sized arts and culture podcast that tries to find one more important thing to think about in this busy world. Each episode, host Brock Kingsley picks a film, a book, an artist, a piece of artwork, a song…something that is worth spending a little bit of time with and digs into it. We invite you to do the same. Occasional special topics and interviews. Follow on Instagram @onemorethingspod
What Should Art Do? A Conversation with Silas Hansen.
Send us Fan Mail No doubt we all have a moment when we ask ourselves why we continue to make things. What's the point? Who cares? The world is shit. Still, we keep going, we keep making. I wanted to sit down and talk to a variety of artists to ask them how they go about their process in these contemporary/turbulent times. All art is political. But what can, or what should, art do? First up in this new conversation series is the essayist and educator Silas Hansen. Support the show ...

The Sofa by Sam Munson
Send us a text On today's show, some thoughts on Sam Munson's new novel The Sofa. From the publisher: "Mr. Montessori and his family return home from a trip to the beach to discover that their sofa is different. Once dark and contemporary, it’s now antique, green and yellow, and smelling faintly of damp. Its appearance and origins are a mystery. A joke? An inverted theft? A break in the fabric of reality? Yes, the police take the “crime” seriously. But what happens next lies outside their ex...

The Coolest Songs in the World: End of Summer Edition
Send us a text Today: Vol. 2 of The Coolest Songs in the World. This time, an end of summer edition. Summer is a metaphor, and here are some songs that remind me of summer--or make me think about summer (or a summer past). Some of the songs will seem obvious, while others won't; some of the songs are happy (ish), and others are down right sad. But that's how memory works. A link to the playlist is below. I hope you enjoy the music. Playlist: The Coolest Songs in the World: End of Summer Editi...

'Absence' by Issa Quincy
Send us a text On today's podcast, a review of Issa Quincy's novel 'Absence' (Two Dollar Radio). From the publisher: "A child is beguiled by a poem read to him by his mother. The poem follows this elusive narrator like a whisper throughout his life, echoing across the years in the stories and lives of others as they are recounted to him: an enigmatic and beloved schoolteacher who leaves behind a dark secret after his death; a woman who lays the table for a son she knows will never retur...

Human/Animal: A Bestiary in Essays: A Conversation with Amie Souza Reilly
Send us a text Occasionally a book comes along that takes me way too long to finish. The reason it takes me too, long is that I continue to turn the pages back--I reread sections, passages, phrases. I roll ideas around my head that I've already considered. The books that take me too long are the books that I don't want to finish because they are so good. So good, that when I do finish them, I turn directly back to page one. Amie Souza Reilly's Human/Animal: A Bestiary in Essays is one of thes...

'Delinquents, and other Escape Attempts,' A Conversation with Nick Gardner
Send us a textAs someone who is over 17 years clean and sober, I’m always on the lookout for how addiction and recovery are portrayed in art and popular culture. When I came across Nick Gardner’s collection of linked stories, “Delinquents And Other Escape Attempts,” I thought this was as good a portrait of addiction and recovery as I have read. On today's show: A conversation with Nick Gardner, author of the linked story collection Delinquents, and other Escape Attempts, Nick Gardne...

Breaking the Code: Vernon Fisher
Send us a Text Message. (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2353719/open_sms)
Vernon Fisher (1943–2023) was a multimedia artist born in Fort Worth, Texas. He earned a BA in English literature from Hardin–Simmons University in 1967 and an MFA from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in 1969. He moved back to Texas and taught at Austin College and later at University of North Texas. Best known for his paintings that resemble chalk on a school blackboard, Fisher created visual narratives combining language and images—often with incongruous elements added.
In 2023, Michael Flanagan made Breaking the Code a biographical documentary about Fisher. Today's episode is a brief conversation about that film.
