The Uncertain Artist Podcast
Welcome to The Uncertain Artist, where we discuss the highs and lows of forging a life in the collaborative arts. Our jump off point each week is an episode of the YouTube show The Uncertain Detective, created by Gregg Lachow, in which a film director creates a surreal, neo-noir tv series featuring a bumbling detective, casts his wife and kids in it, and tries to juggle his two worlds. Hosted by Gregg Lachow & Joe Guppy About The Uncertain Detective Series: A film director creates a surreal, neo-noir tv series featuring a bumbling detective, casts his wife and kids in it, and tries to juggle his two worlds. ”So charming. You just really enjoy being around this family. Very funny, very dry humor, featuring a ton of great Seattle actors.” --KUOW ”A genuine portrayal of what it’s like to live and work as a family of artists, inhabiting and exhibiting different selves. The comedy is subtle and self-deprecating...funny and appealingly odd.” --Crosscut
