Along with new co-host JEN COLLINS (see Conversation 3-Way Episode 3: http://www.theconversationpod.com/conversation-3-way-episode-3/), we talk with JOSHUA DILDINE, who makes paintings on photographs. We discuss: his large family and growing up in Fresno, CA (the armpit of California); his starting a family at a young age, and negotiating his young son's time in his studio, and limiting his son's time painting on his dad's paintings); his relationship with his students at Pepperdine; and his younger life driving a raised truck.

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.
