The Complicated Artist - Pablo Picasso ~ Alexander Articles

It is often said that one must separate the art from the artist. Whatever truth there may be to that old maxim, understanding the life and times of the artist often brings a deeper and more rich appreciation of their works. Such, we believe, is the case with Pablo Picasso. Join Tim and Derek as we discuss the complicated tales and relationships of the man who formed the bedrock of modern art, from his early experiments with color on classical styles to the bizarre and abstract scenes of joy and terror for which he is today known.

Movie Plot or True Crime - Antwerp Diamond Heist ~ Mystery Docket

With a Heist crew including individuals going by names such as Speedy, The Monster, The Genius, and The King of Keys only for the leader just to go by Leo this heist is one for the history books. Come listen to a tale of subterfuge, stealth, and a carelessly discarded sandwich.

One of Histories Greatest Writers - Ernest Hemingway ~ Alexander Articles

We all know the names of the great American writers, like Fitzgerald, Poe, and Steinbeck, and perhaps remember scraps of their works from high school English class. But rarely do we come to know these artists themselves and the often bizarre and fantastical deeds they undertook which inspired their work. So join us today as we explore the life and evolution of perhaps the greatest of the American modernist novelists: Ernest Hemingway. From the salons of Paris to a stately villa outside Havana, join Tim and Derek as we travel the contours of a truly fascinating life and an equally fascinating time.
