The Finest Work Songs: A Tour of Seattle Artists Working Together
From these questions and these spaces, I wanted to start something a little different: a series highlighting collaborations among Seattle-area artists. I want to break down the myth of the solitary artist. I want to find out more about artistic collaboration: the rewards, the challenges, and the logistics. I want to get to know the practitioners, the people who are doing collaborative work, not just the people who talk about collaborative work. I want to see the contours of how Seattle artists work together. I want to see how that might inspire other artists within and outside Seattle.

Seattle Sketchfest 2012: A Conversation with The Cody Rivers Show’s Mike Mathieu
José Amador talks with The Cody Rivers Show’s Mike Mathieu and discusses some of the duo’s experiences during their busiest period, how much more valuable it is to stick to one’s artistic principles, their approach to creating new material, and how this current volume is less like a concept album, and more like a regular grouping of songs.

Radio Drama: Beyond Nostalgia and Nerddom
Just as everything bad about Hollywood was bad about Broadway before it, everything bad about television was bad about radio. Virtually every generic trope of television stems from American broadcast having its roots in radio. But where television has run these genres into the ground, it has at least attempted variations on the themes. By comparison, contemporary audio drama is positively hidebound.
#6, 786, 990, 802 Salad and Other Kalesque Rumblings from my Kitchen
From the kitchen of Inga Muscio comes the miscegenation of tuna, dolphins and hale fucken kale salad. The offspring are neither animal, vegetable or mineral, yet still worthy of contemplation.
UMO Ensemble’s Maldoror: Absurd Lyricism Envelops The Senses
As with all of UMO’s productions, one particularly needs to forget the brand of kitchen sink realism that is often presented on our stages. Instead, in order to begin appreciating it, what is required is an openness of the senses, an awareness of what’s transpiring onstage, and let meaning appear cumulatively after the fact.
