Zombie #37 & The Art of Making Art Happen
<p>We typically experience public art at the end of the creative process: walking past a completed mural or stepping into an installation without thinking much about the months—or years—of planning, collaboration, and problem-solving that made it possible. But while the backstory shouldn’t dictate how we interpret a work of art, it can change how we appreciate everything that had to happen before it existed at all.</p><p>This episode draws on <a href="https://www.kwbu.org/show/conversations-with-creative-waco/2026-05-22/conversations-with-creative-waco-stephen-uhey-sarah-mosher" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">recent interviews from KWBU’s Conversations with Creative Waco</a> to explore two very different collaborative art projects: the Bridges & Brazos pavement mural in downtown Waco and the fiber-and-data installation Belonging. Along the way, a simple question—“How did this happen?”—becomes a different way of thinking about not just collaborative art but all the invisible work that makes it possible.</p><p>-----</p><p>Hit subscribe so you don’t miss the next episode of Your Waco Weekend—and visit <a href="https://wacoinsider.substack.com/">wacoinsider.stubstack.com</a> to sign up for The Weekly Dispatch newsletter.</p>

The result is a surprising realization about Waco’s music scene—and why even the best calendar can’t create anticipation on its own.</p><p>-----</p><p>Hit subscribe so you don’t miss the next episode of Your Waco Weekend—and visit <a href="https://wacoinsider.substack.com/">wacoinsider.stubstack.com</a> to sign up for our weekly newsletter.</p>

Godzilla vs. The (Maybe) Crying Baby
<p>The summer after high school, a Texas drive-in projection booth seemed like the perfect job, and home video was the future. Four decades later, after years of cable television, Netflix DVDs, and streaming services, a COVID-era screening of Godzilla vs. Kong answered an unexpected question about what movie theaters still provide.</p><p>Inside a nearly empty Waco theater, eight audience members, a baby in a stroller, and a deafening monster battle combined to make an ordinary Saturday afternoon feel acutely momentous. This episode explores what was lost during the pandemic—and what was rediscovered—when people finally returned to the movies.</p><p>-----</p><p>Hit subscribe so you don’t miss the next episode of Your Waco Weekend—and visit <a href="https://wacoinsider.substack.com/">wacoinsider.stubstack.com</a> to sign up for our weekly newsletter.</p>
