Episode 80: Don’t Call it Art

Austin Kleon is back!

The New York Times bestselling author and friend of the show returns to the Radio Hour this week to talk about sketches, demos, and his fantastic new book, Don’t Call it Art (out the week).

We get into all sorts of things inspired by the book: Phil Collins’ demos (which are incredible), the magic of 4-track recordings, recording in echoey rooms, mumbling your way to lyrics, being inspired by other artists, and much more.

What fun.

Thanks, Austin!
