Ali & Callie Artcast

Stephen Shortridge - Actor, author and romantic impressionist painter reads a couple of experts from his book, A Fingerpainted Life and talks about his upcoming new book, Where the Road Turns to Water.  Then tells tales of how the Hollywood actor ended up as a well-known artist in Coeur d'Alene Idaho.  

Enjoy a new Artcast with the Chair of the CDA Arts Commission, Jennifer Drake as we talk about the process of choosing public art, where the money comes from, and how our public art collection vitalizes our community. And we spend a minute talking about Jenn and Ben's English Pub, The Crown and Thistle, and what is a tatty egg... and should you eat mushy peas.

The Inland Northwest has writers...  and here is one of the best!! Michael Koep, musician, swordsman, father, damn good waiter and writer join us today along with his publisher Andreas John, owner of Nspire Magazine. They will spin tales of their journey to get the books published, travels around the country promoting the book series and how they are currently working on turning the Newirth Mythology Series into a TV show.  

You can find Mr. Koep's books where ever books are sold and be sure to try the Audible set!  

One of the Inland Northwest's most loved artists, Terry Lee tells us stories of his start in painting and sculpting, his relationship with George Carlson, his little known ties to North Idaho College and what it takes to get a large piece commissioned.
