Abi Montalvo & Liz Hébert

SOURCE NEEDED

In SOURCE NEEDED Abi and Liz discuss the cultural phenomena of the day - from painting conservation to film to poetry to the art market. Guilty of forming opinions on such topics without a source to back the claim, this podcast is an homage to those moments when our conversations precede research. (That said, we do our best to stick to the framework of a cultural ‘object’ per episode, and link the mentioned papers/tiktoks/memes/oddly specific wikipedia pages in the bibliomaniac caption). Intrigued? Subscribe to SOURCE NEEDED for weekly episodes and (unsubstantiated) extras. xoxo Abi + Liz
