Episode #110: Carolina Miranda of the L.A. Times- covering art & culture, high & low

Carolina Miranda covers art both high and low, as well as writing the occasional piece about architecture or music. We talk about: her Latina heritage; her philosophy and approach as an arts journalist; the issues around race brought up in her piece on the Donelle Woodford/Joe Scanlon Whitney Biennial scandal; her posts that went viral, including breaking the story that Hello Kitty is not a cat; as well as stories on a velvet painting museum, and a pool in the middle of the desert. Carolina also makes her world debut reading of "Jeff Koons Cut-Up Poem," culled from the many flowery-worded articles about his retrospective.
