  May 6, 20261h 10mS0

  <p>Kevin Fishner is the founder of Radius Butcher & Grocery — Austin's first regenerative grocery store and the closest thing to a farmer's market open every day.</p><p>Radius is built on a simple but radical idea: what if your grocery store knew your farmers by name, tested your food for plastics and pesticides, sourced only what's in season from Central Texas land, and felt as warm and alive as a kitchen?</p><p>Kevin came to this from tech — and from two bouts with Lyme disease that forced him to reimagine his relationship with food and his body. What emer...

  Apr 8, 20261h 3mS0

  <p>Richard is the founder of Riches Art Gallery — but what he’s built is far more than an art gallery.</p><p>Located on the east side of Austin, Riches has become a living creative ecosystem: part gallery, part venue, part classroom, part third place.

  10. Jack Sanders: Sandlot Baseball, Placemaking, and Building a Living Work of Art

  Mar 18, 20261h 21mS0

  <p>Jack Sanders has spent the last twenty years building far more than a baseball team. He founded the Texas Playboys — Austin’s beloved sandlot baseball club — and later created The Long Time, a one-of-a-kind venue and community space in Far East Austin that feels part baseball field, part art project, part gathering place, part social experiment. What began as a love of baseball has become a much bigger exploration of creativity, collaboration, belonging, and how meaningful places are made.</p><p>In this episode, Jack shares how his years playing with the Newbern Tigers in rural Alabama transformed the way he...

  09. Tom Girl: Heartbreak, Grief, and Transformation with Quentin

  Mar 4, 20261h 15mS0

  <p>Quentin has been creating for most of their life — theater, dance, vocals, performance, music — but this conversation centers on a project that took nearly three years to complete: their new album Tom Girl, an homage to the intensity, joy, heartbreak, and becoming of your twenties.</p><p>What started as a “little solo side project” became something much deeper: a vehicle for grief, endings, identity, queerness, and a return to love — the kind you only reach after you’ve walked through anger and resentment without judging yourself for feeling them.</p><p>We talk about what it looks like to let creat...

  08. Sharing My Story: Career Pivots, Changing My Life, and the origins of The Artist Rendezvous with host, Samantha Pfotenhauer

  Feb 11, 20261h 2mS1

  <p>In this episode, the roles are reversed. Instead of interviewing a guest, Samantha Pfotenhauer — host of The Artist Rendezvous — sits in the guest seat as her friend Bradley interviews her about the winding, honest path that led her from a life centered on productivity and ambition – practicing corporate law in New York City – to a life centered on creativity.</p><p>What begins as a conversation about career pivots quickly opens into something deeper: how unprocessed trauma quietly shapes our choices, how curiosity creates exits where none seem to exist, and why creativity is not a frivolous exploration, but a skill...
