Commentaries

Commentator Shane Fernando fell in love with the work of Alonzo Wilson long before the costume designer wowed audiences of  HBO’s hit series Tremé—but that doesn’t mean he’s beyond shock and awe. In fact, if you listen to today’s commentary closely, you can almost hear his jaw drop.

Well Suited, the Costumes of Alonzo Wilson, will be on exhibit at the Cameron Art Museum now through November 3rd.

Commentator Philip Gerard is renowned for his literary prowess, genial nature, and smashing good looks. Less known, perhaps, is his penchant for sticking to his guns, even when he's arguably (and obviously) off the mark. In this commentary, he shares his trouble with IQ tests and farm animals.

The recent poaching of a number of wild Venus fly traps from the Stanley Rehder Carnivorous Plant Garden has Commentator Andy Wood thinking about what has actually been stolen. Something precious has been invaded--our wild home--and Andy Wood thinks the incentive to protect that space is high.

Commentator Whitney Ross Gray had to leave her home to record this commentary, which is a sign of true dedication for a woman who would rather not leave home at all. Not to say that she's a hermit--just a woman who prefers the comfort of a blanket and a book over most alternatives. Today, we're serving up Thursday's commentary a day early, but at its own pace. Listen to "Natural Loafer" and you might find a reason to take your pace down a few ticks as well.
