from Memphis Material · host Memphis Material

Lauren Kennedy grew up in Little Rock, then suburban Dallas, then came to study at Rhodes College where she graduated with a degree in Art History in 2008.  She returned to Dallas to work at the Nasher Sculpture Center and the Dallas Art Fair.  Kennedy returned to Memphis to work for Ballet Memphis and she ran South Fork, an alternative art space that showed dozens of local and national artists.  She became the director of the UrbanArt Commission in 2015 where she oversaw and facilitated great growth in the organization for over eight years, including the massive expansion of the Memphis International Airport.  She founded the vibrant and award winning Sheet Cake Gallery in 2024. This is the first of what we hope to be many, many conversations with Lauren Kennedy.  For now though, this is the only one in the series.

There'll be no previews, so I'll be finding out whether the material works at the same time as the audience does. If I crash and burn, it'll be a long night for everybody. I thought it might be quite interesting to make a podcast about the process I'm going through to make the show while I'm doing it. The podcast will conclude with recordings of the actual show. What will that be like? Nobody knows! Maybe there'll even be a twist ending.

If you answered "yes," then you're in good company because so do we! Every show we review an episode of Ghost Adventures that we *literally* just watched, ripping it apart bit by bit--whether its the fake science, Zak's outfits, or shitty reenactments, there is a LOT of material to cover. Won't you join us for the fun? Explicit
