Happy Pride Month! For this week's episode I sat down with Omar Salas Zamora, an independent filmmaker and one of my oldest friends. Omar has written and directed dozens of shorts and several feature length films. We discussed his background and journey through the film industry, as well as his most recent project: the mini series, Here Comes Your Man.  The show follows two young men from the beginning to the end of their rela...

This week, I rounded up some of my favorite moments on the show thus far. My original plan was to do this to mark the podcast's third month and it completely slipped my mind, so I'm doing it now. Everybody loves a clip show! ...right?

This week's episode features Jesse Dodge aka Grampa Facets, a lapidary artist based in Portland, Oregon. Jesse cuts and facets borosilicate glass, taking inspiration from natural gems and crystals. He's been gaining a lot of traction in his field and his work can be found in glass shops across the country.

This week's episode features Jess Steinfelds, a weaver and photographer based in Truckee, California. We had a wonderful conversation, but roughly half of it got cut off due a technical error during recording. This is extremely unfortunate, but it may be recoverable. Make sure to listen all the way through for more info on this, as well an important announcement.

I go solo this week and do a deep dive into what is quickly becoming a theme of the show (or at least a major interest of mine).

On this week's episode I sat down with independent jewelry designer, Aimee Rivka. She's a small business owner, a lover of the outdoors, and an absolute gem of a human being (which is appropriate since she works with all-natural gemstones). She also happens to be my partner and I truly could not be more grateful to have her in my life.

After interviewing my brother for last week's episode, I decided it would be fun to keep things in the family. For today's show, I sat down with my wonderful sister-in-law, Ricci Wolfe.

Ricci is a remarkable visual artist as well as an aspiring teacher. While her specialty is quickly becoming minimal yet striking illustrations, her art style has a broad scope and is constantly evolving. I resonated with a lot of ...

Today is my birthday and this episode is my gift to you. I know, I shouldn't have. I did though, so you're welcome. 

This week's guest is incredibly special to me: Synecdoche aka Daniel Wolfe is not only a talented musician, he's also my little brother, one of my closest friends, and a massive source of inspiration for me. Our conversation got very conceptual in a few places and I think his insights on ...

For this week's episode, I sat down with Donald Rosenhamer aka Don Ross, a longtime local of the Tahoe basin.  Don attempts to infuse creativity into as many aspects of his life as possible: he paints, he DJs, he skates, and much more. 

He has a unique perspective on what it means to be an artist and I'm excited to share our conversation with you. It was awesome. Don's awesome. You're awesome. I say awe...

Shapes & Sounds officially begins here! Aren't you excited? You're excited. I can tell.

I'm joined by my good friend Travis aka LabRat for this inaugural episode. We chat about music (duh), current events (i.e. GameStonk), and staying inspired to create while avoiding the trap of pigeonholing yourself. He's an incredible musician and I'm beyond grateful to have him on the show. 

Intro:...

The title truly says it all: I (Matt Wolfe) introduce myself and lay out what you, the listener, can expect from Shapes & Sounds.
