In this episode Maggs is joined by Josh Stebbins of Enid, Oklahoma to talk about making art in the digital age. Josh discusses playing the "social media game"; the issue with ai art; the importance of literature and the written word for the preservation of our humanity in an increasingly digital future; how inaccessible it is for a good many artists to even be in a position to create; and being inspired by the creations of other writers, musicians, performers, etc. including Twin Peaks and all things David Lynch. Josh also shares his opinion on the age-old question of whether or not an artist must suffer for their art.
