Episode 41: An Ode to Mail with Melodie Reay
Manage episode 260706462 series 2425590
Today's episode is all about mail and the post office. Fellow artist, mail appreciator/sender and dear friend Melodie Reay is my guest. We talk about what the mail has meant to us in our art practices and the everyday excitement of receiving a handwritten postcard. This discussion stems from concerns over continued funding of USPS and our fears of our mail system becoming completely privatized. We scoff at insurance, laugh about water damage and celebrate other mail woes. And basketball shows up, because basketball is in everything.
Melodie and first met while we were both graduate students at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA. She was a year ahead of me in our MFA program and was one of the first friends I made when I moved to Baton Rouge. Her wonderful artwork can be seen here. She and her husband Jim Osbourne (also a wonderful artist) run a wonderful bakery called Rosch Bakehaus (pick up only right now) out of their home in Baton Rouge's Garden District. As someone who has eaten a lot of their sweet and savory creations, if you live in the area, they are highly recommended and a wonderful business to support.
