For this week’s episode we chatted with Max Gonzales (also known as GEMS), who is a Pittsburgh based graffiti artist.
Max brings a unique perspective on the art scene, since they were arrested in 2016 as Pittsburgh’s most wanted graffiti artist and now work as an artist and muralist. The conversation covered Pittsburgh’s graffiti art, the regional differences and history of the art form, and their current work on murals. Well worth a listen!

Recently we discussed free speech and academic freedom with Richard Scheines, the Dean of Dietrich College here at Carnegie Mellon.
Dean Scheines talked about the importance of having conversations about difficult and controversial topics, the restrictions that apply to free speech on campus, his experience working on CMU’s Commission on Academic Freedom and Freedom of Expression, and more! It was a very intriguing conversation about a topic that’s perennially relevant.
