There are a bunch of hilarious childhood Christmas presents, incredibly thoughtful birthday gifts, and even a good report card gift in there too. Have a listen right up there under Jessica Brilli&#8217;s <em>&#8220;Nova in the Snow&#8221;<\/em>, or you can\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/podcast\/jealous-curator-art-for-your\/id996338562\" target=\"_blank\">subscribe on iTunes<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>And in case you don&#8217;t listen <em>{why aren&#8217;t you listening!?}<\/em>, I&#8217;m going to take a moment to get a little sappy. I want to say thank you so much to all of you for not only reading the blog, but also indulging me earlier this year when I decided to try\u00a0this podcast thing. I was really nervous about it, and wasn&#8217;t sure if it would be right for me&#8230; but now I&#8217;m obsessed! Part of that obsession is thanks to all of you and your insane enthusiasm \/\u00a0support! I&#8217;ve received lovely messages from so many of you &#8211; stories about listening while you work in your studio, run errands, make dinner, exercise. I get heartfelt emails about episodes that hit a nerve with\u00a0you, and got you fired up to get back into the studio. It makes me so happy&#8230; so happy, in fact, that I&#8217;m able to put my phone anxiety on the back burner while I make the next call.<\/p>\n<p>AND, thank you so much to all of the artists who say yes! Yes to evening Skype calls <em>{sometimes with alcohol}<\/em>, yes to answering\u00a0all of my crazy fan-girl questions, and yes to the speed round! I appreciate it so, so much. xo<\/p>\n<p>Finally, one more thank you&#8230; thank you to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saatchiart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Saatchi Art<\/a> for being so amazing. Before I launched the podcast\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0before even I knew what it would be like\/sound like\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0I called the lovely folks at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.saatchiart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Saatchi Art<\/a> in LA and asked if they&#8217;d sponsor the first\u00a0episode. You never know, right? They might say yes? Well, they didn&#8217;t even hesitate! And it has gone long past\u00a0the first episode &#8211; they&#8217;ve been supporting me since the beginning. See? Amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Ok. I&#8217;m finished typing now. Have a listen to <em>&#8220;the best gift ever&#8221;<\/em>, and I&#8217;ll be back with more episodes of <em>Art For Your Ear<\/em> in early January &#8230; Happy Holidays! xo<\/p>\n<p><em>{The twelve artists in this episode: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/02\/almost-happy\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kelly Puissegur<\/a> \u00a0\/ \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/2015\/09\/18\/blossoms-burlesque\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tiffanie Turner<\/a> \u00a0\/ \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/2015\/11\/13\/big-salad\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jessica Brilli<\/a> \u00a0\/ \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/2015\/09\/25\/design-milk-by-day-sketchbooks-by-night\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jaime Derringer<\/a> \u00a0\/ \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/2015\/06\/05\/comfort-zones-and-lack-thereof\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stephanie Vovas<\/a> \u00a0\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/2015\/12\/04\/welcome-to-boburg\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bobbie Burgers<\/a> \u00a0\/ \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/2015\/11\/20\/what-charms-you\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sidney Pink<\/a> \u00a0\/ \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/09\/a-really-slow-magician\/\" target=\"_blank\">Debra Broz<\/a> \u00a0\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/23\/a-nod-to-creativity\/\" target=\"_blank\">Michelle Kohanzo<\/a> \u00a0\/ \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/31\/you-cant-make-art-in-the-cracks\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jessica Bell<\/a> \u00a0\/ \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/2015\/05\/22\/meat-and-cake-and-lobsters-and-wigs\/\" target=\"_blank\">Martha Rich<\/a> \u00a0\/ \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/2015\/11\/27\/ufos-diaries-underdogs\/\" target=\"_blank\">Esther Pearl Watson<\/a>\u00a0}<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yep!
