| 03 Aug 2022 | MINI EPISODE with NYC Crit Club | 00:42:19 | |
NYC Crit Club is a misleading name for the collaborative learning program that Catherine Haggarty and Hilary Doyle founded five years ago. A) You can take classes with them from anywhere in the world B) it's super inclusive (affordable!)- less a club, more a gathering. I'm teaching there in the spring and Mira Fucking Schor is teaching there in the fall..two icons! Listen on for more info. Enrollment opens August 15th. PS: We don't usually do #ads because that would break from this pod's brand of time consuming and unprofitable that Amy has built over so many years. But NYC Crit Club is great, worth the exception. #intentional #plug. | |||

| 18 Nov 2021 | EPISODE 23: Digging with Tracy Molis | 01:30:12 | |
I think it was early 2019 that I went to see Tracy Molis’ last show at Kai Matsumiya. There were two types of paintings on view: paintings of artifacts inspired by an archaeological drawing class she was teaching at Columbia, and then paintings of stills from a Rage Against The Machine music video… a different type of artifact. In some ways, this re-released podcast in honor of her next show at the gallery feels like a dusty dug up artifact, a remnant from the “before times.” Enjoy this time capsule!

| 19 Sep 2019 | EPISODE 32: A Teaser, and How Not To Get A Teaching Job | 00:15:33 | |
Episode 32 is here! And it’s a little mini-one. My show, Container Store Cantastoria, opens at Hesse Flatow today, and so I’ve been busy working on all of that...prints...a performance...some weird display easels…. No time really for a full sit-down interview. But! A new feature to the podcast rolls out soon, one we’re calling “Leave A Message.” Starting Monday, listeners will be able to leave me a voice message through the website that I’ll respond to on future episodes. Stay tuned for a link to that feature. And because I didn’t want to leave listeners without any content to consume (you content hungry vultures), I’m offering you a brief rant on teaching jobs called “How Not To Get a Teaching Job.” Never miss an episode of The Amy Beecher Show.

| 25 Oct 2021 | EPISODE 46: Hopping the Pond with Aoife Spillane-Hinks | 02:00:58 | |
Today’s re-release: this one’s exciting because it corresponds with some content that you can stream from the comfort of your own home: Aoife Spillane Hink’s film opera A Thing I Cannot Name is streaming online today for World Opera Day. Irish-American director, writer, and actor Aoife-Spillane Hinks is a longtime friend of mine. We used to joke that we were long lost sisters (similar curly hair although hers was more impressive) and even though we rarely get to connect you can tell in this episode that there’s so much love there. I am quite jealous of Aoife’s acquired Irish-American lilt, yet another reason to listen and enjoy. Show NotesStream A Thing I Cannot Name free and on demand for 24 hours on 25 October 2021 | |||
