We brought you the voices of Philadelphia artists talking about their work, their lives and inspirations. (Artblog 2003-2025)
Artblog Radio began in 2010,with funding from the Knight Foundation and J-Lab, as we experimented with a little Sony recorder and some big microphones. The podcasts shared the voices of the Philadelphia artists with the world, in their own wise and often very funny words. In the last year, we added more of our own voices to share the news and commentary on things we were seeing and thinking about. Hosted initially by Libby and Roberta, with later years involving other hosts, Artblog Radio is an archive of 316 episodes. Since 2020, Artblog Radio episodes have been transcribed and available to read on Artblog.
In this news and gossip-filled conversation, Roberta and Ryan talk about New York and Philadelphia, meandering around topics like the Art on Paper Fair and Jenny Holzer at the Guggenheim, Mayor Cherelle Parker’s Town Hall about the 76ers arena, Danish “hygge” in New York, and Germantown, and the death of Stephan Salisbury – and many other things.
