The Truth In This Art is a longform arts-and-culture interview podcast hosted by Rob Lee, podcast producer and artist based in Baltimore. Each episode digs into conversations with artists, creative thinkers, and cultural workers—curators, gallerists, historians, museum professionals, designers, filmmakers, musicians, writers, and community builders—about how the work gets made and why it matters.
What you’ll hear:
Process and practice — studio routines, deadlines, drafts, failures, pivots.
Origin stories and identity — where the work comes from and who it speaks to.
Impact and context — exhibitions, public art, collaboration, and the business side.
Across 900+ episodes, guests span visual arts, design, performance, and literature—from painting and sculpture to theater, poetry, and public installation.
From Baltimore and beyond, the show connects local voices with wider ideas, sharing stories that matter.
New episodes drop regularly, exploring how arts and culture shape community, place, and everyday life.
If you’re looking for thoughtful artist interviews and real culture conversations, you’ll find practical insight for artists, creatives, and culture lovers.
