Mother, Woman, Artist

Chris Gethard
About this episode

This week's caller is an artist and a mother who called in to talk about the gifts and challenges of both of those aspects of her identity. She tells Geth about what it's like making art with her dad, how being an artist informs how she's raising her own daughter, and being part of an incredibly cool grassroots initiative and their mission to "Take Up Space" in galleries all over the world. She also drops a pretty big reveal in the 5 Random Questions segment of the show, so this week might be a good one to sign up for Beautiful/Anonymous+ if you haven't already.
