This audio podcast features readings, interviews, and music -- all from our very talented residents -- to give you a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the people, projects, and processes at our residency program in Nebraska City. You can stream episodes on your computer, or download them to your mobile device to take with you during your summer travels. We currently have two episodes available for download, and plan to add a new episode once a month. In our first episode, Forces of Nature, writer Dawn Dorland, interdisciplinary artist RobMacInnis, and composer Tom Dempster all share work utilizing nature as metaphor and myth. In our second episode, Distance and Identity, composer Fjola Evans and photographer Elise Kirktalk about the great influence the places they grew up -- Iceland and the American Midwest -- have on their work, even though they have both long since moved away. Stay tuned in July for our third episode, where we examine ways strangers intersect with very personal parts of our lives, featuring poet Erin Malone and artist Sophie Barbasch. You can find our Podcast and related links on Tumblr and SoundCloud. You can also listen or subscribe to In-Residence free in iTunes (and while you're there, leave us a rating or review!).
