Art Ballad
In the studio space of their Alberta home, artists Jon and Randi record conversations that feel like pulling up a chair in a shared workshop. Their Art Ballad podcast is a long-form dialogue between two practicing creators who live and breathe the material world they discuss. You’ll hear the texture of their process-the debates over a technique, the reconsideration of a famous movement, or the unpacking of a controversial idea that rippled through the design community. This isn't a lecture series; it's the sound of two friends thinking out loud, challenging each other's perspectives on everything from Renaissance masters to modern media scandals. The discussions are grounded in their own experiences as makers, which brings a tangible, sometimes messy, reality to topics that can feel abstract. Each episode meanders through history, theory, and personal anecdote with a casual, curious rhythm. For listeners, it offers a backstage pass to the ongoing conversation between artists, where conclusions are less important than the act of looking together.
