Booking Overview

This is an interview-led art podcast focused on mixed-media making, creative practice, and the personal journeys of artists, teachers, and engaged Fodder School participants. PR agencies could credibly pitch mixed-media and collage artists, art educators, craft instructors, and authors with a distinctive creative process or maker story; booking difficulty is low because the show regularly features accessible practitioners and community members rather than celebrity-level guests.
