Chet Malinow: Art, Music & Finding Your Way as a Creative - Episode 3 Artwork

The Cross Section Podcast

As a cyclist and filmmaker and photographer, this is a new creative outlet for me and one that I am very excited about. I think one of the takeaways of 2020 is just how much I miss the people in my life and fostering those relationships so this seemed like a natural progression. I was kind of down in the dumps in the early winter and I missed everyone. I had been flirting with a podcast for quite some time and I decided to just go for it. I do not make any claims that I know what I’m doing. If you're into photography, bikes, and art, I sit down with people I find to be pretty interesting and unique. The show sort of cross-polinates amongst those topics and the podcast is the result. These are the conversations I would have on any given day. This is a show where my goal is to hang out with athletes, artists, musicians, friends and just follow the conversation wherever it leads and I thought, maybe, you might be interested in what we explore. Have a listen and follow wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes will typically drop each Sunday. For Season 1, which will include only 10-15 episodes, I hope you like it.

Chet Malinow: Art, Music & Finding Your Way as a Creative - Episode 3

February 06, 2021 • Drew Coleman • Season 1 • Episode 3

The podcast is titled in a way that allows me to and reminds me to explore many avenues that I find interesting - bikes and cyclocross, but also art and music and photography. Hence, "The Cross Section". In the spirit of the goal to explore a wide-range of topics, for Episode 3 I reached out to someone who checks a lot of the boxes that pique my interest. He is an artist I have known only in the sense of IG posts, comments, DM’s and emails but I have never actually had the chance to meet and talk with in person and this is the next best thing.

I first encountered his work at the Breadwinner Cycles Cafe a couple of years ago. His work is really wonderful. As with all artists who evolve and change, his current period is one of geometry and balance and feels very mid-century. Additionally he is a talented self-taught musician (who is actually crafting new, original theme music for the show) as well as a skier and cyclist. He does large murals, custom paints bikes, wheels, windows, walls and whatever else you can think of. Follow him on INSTAGRAM and check out his WEBSITE to see more of his work.

Once we got rolling, day turned to night and I discovered we have many parallel interests and passions. We talked art, music, fixed-gear riding and went down a variety of rabbit holes. Thanks for listening in! Please subscribe and rate and review the show wherever you source your podcasts!
