Pitcher or the Catcher? Or the Shortstop....

I know everybody out there probably listens to this already, but if you don't I highly recommend Bad at Sports' weekly podcast. It's not just the Chicago art scene anymore. Oh, it's so much more than that! They've interviewed gallerists Jack Hanley and Leo Koenig, artist Jeff Wall (a personal favorite), and Chicago critic/theorist James Elkins. For the literary inclined, each epsiode usually ends with a book review. They also talk on a regular basis about the pros and cons of the MFA, the state of art schools, and what it takes to move to New York (for the so inclined). There's also conversations from their bureaus in London, Central Europe, and San Francisco about what's happening in those geos. So don't say I never gave you nothin'.

Daddy's gonna finish his morning scotch now. Go outside and play.
