Ah crap, Donald Trump is back in office and things aren't looking so great for the arts in the good ol' USA—that is, unless you're a figurative sculpture artist or your primary mode of inquiry is about the Declaration of Independence. In that case, this could be a golden age for your career and you should definitely come be a guest on the show!

This week we're focusing on the gutting of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for Humanities (NEH), and how it might affect everything from your local children's museum to the fate of A Prairie Home Companion (which we’re not that torn up about, tbh).

There’s no gallery guide for this episode, but be sure to check out the beautiful rendering of the National Garden of American Heroes on the Patreon!
