Jeff Weiss, artist and long-time teacher at numerous art schools (now retired), talks about: Weisslink, the email he sends out to his list of 1800 or so readers just past midnight every night-- which features a subtractive aggregate of the latest art world activity; his Prometheus Project, which was a multi-media memorialization of the oldest living thing, a bristle cone pine tree that was cut down in the Nevada mountains; and his life in rural Vermont, where he's had a house for 30 years and has learned where and how to draw the lines with his animal (mainly beaver) neighbors.

The Conversation's 100th Episode (!), with Los Angeles abstract painter Lester Monzon. With co-host Deb Klowden Mann, we talk about: Lester's intense childhood in Queens, and his being picked on as a chubby pubescent; his beginnings as an artist, including his uneasy relationship with art institutions; his challenging work in customer service; the ontology of being an abstract painter; the battlefield between abstractionists and its skeptics; and a great Don't Call Us story that Lester experienced at the opening of his first gallery group show.
