About write-up-the-coast hosted by mark sanford gross

Different faces, different spaces. Write Up the Coast is a series of conversations that started somewhere else first: a friendship, a shared world, a curiosity, a subject that wouldn't leave me alone, sometimes just someone I met along the way. Guests range from a biographer or curator to a restaurateur and a sculptor, and none of them have to share a subject. Only the fact that each conversation is an offshoot of something real. Some episodes are Step In Story recordings captured face to face in the moment; in a group or just while roving around; others are longer sit-downs with people sought out directly. Together they're proof that a life doesn't need one subject to hold together, just real connections, wherever they lead.

First-time visitors. A security guard. Conversations at the bar. Reflections between booths. This episode is a mosaic of those voices. Not commentary about the fair — but the feeling inside it. The risk, the pressure, the beauty, the curiosity, and the quiet exchanges that happen in the spaces between. Recor...

   Staying Present: A Conversation with Lynn Hershman Leeson

   In this episode, I sit down with Lynn Hershman Leeson, an Art:21 honoree, for a conversation that moves well beyond a traditional art interview. Recorded live in the studio, the discussion unfolds naturally—guided less by chronology or critical frameworks than by curiosity and presence. We talk about memory, identity, personas, technology, resilience, recognition, and the long arc of a creative life, allowing the conversation to follow its own course rather than a prepared agenda. This is not...

   Step-In: New Year’s at The Sea Ranch Lodge

   On New Year’s Day—the first day of 2026—Write Up the Coast set up the Step-In Story Booth at The Sea Ranch Lodge, on the rugged northern edge of California’s Sonoma Coast. Set at the entrance to the Lodge, the booth drew people in by curiosity rather than invitation. Some were gently nudged to step in; others arrived entirely on their own. One at a time, they recorded a two-to-three-minute, stream-of-consciousness response to a simple New Year’s prompt, offered just before entering: What is...
