Interim co-host Deb Klowden Mann, a gallerist based in Culver City, and I talk about:

Why I continue to do the show and the desire for and challenge of finding a permanent co-host; Gen-X, and how Gen-Xers and social media don\\u2019t mix well together; the Twitter storm that Deb got caught in after a high-profile individual came to her gallery and didn\\u2019t receive the glad-handing they thought they were entitled to; my ambition to make Hyperallergic\\u2019s \\u201cLeast Powerful People in the Art World\\u201d list, and the relative power of a platform; Deb does a little business, with one of her colleagues, via text on air to give us a taste of a day in the life of a gallerist, and later she explains what it\\u2019s like working with a large roster of artists and how she and her team are engaged in addressing a range of needs depending on the artist; social justice today in terms of censorship; the difference between DJs who \\u2018curate\\u2019 music and curators who curate art; and L.A.\\u2019s mid-February art fair week, and what Deb\\u2019s activity (her gallery has a booth at Art Los Angeles Contemporary, aka ALAC) will look like, and what it\\u2019s like for her.
