First Steps

Hosts Sarah Turner and Gabriel Garbow kick off their new podcast making promises they may or may not keep for the future of the show. They share their creative activities of the past week, disagree and then agree about what counts as the first step, and shamelessly praise each others' work. Gabriel offers a sketchy account of how he starts a new painting. Sarah shows her visual arts bona fides as well as her techniques for starting a new writing project. Then both of them cover a wide range of tangential tidbits. Topics include: a serious desk, differing party experiences, true facts, Talking Heads, where the artsy parts starts, live nude models, Tori Amos, underpainting, writing to the title, frisket, Gabriel's big secret, Sarah's mom, sports talk, when is the right time to start, and a proper(?) ending.
