Snippets

Who?

Ema Katrovas

What?

These are solo podcast episodes in which Ema Katrovas usually reads an academic article or other material relating to artists out-loud and reacts to it. Why is it called “snippets”? Well, given that the idea of this podcast was a kind of cultural journalism about the realities of being an artist today, Ema wanted to evoke newspaper clippings – small pieces of information which you save for later as you piece together the bigger picture.

“Indie” Artist Portraits

Who?

“Indie” artists of all sorts 

What?

This is the original Artists on the Verge content: Ema Katrovas was tired of the self-promotion interviews rampant in “high art” cultural journalism and wanted to offer honest interviews which talked about the unglamorous reality of carving out a career in the arts, all while highlighting artists who had non-traditional careers, whom one wouldn’t hear interviewed in-depth anywhere else. Ema takes a particular interest in artists who decided to strike out on their own and found their own ensembles.
