Ted’s new paintings for July 2022

Send us a text message to say hi! We’d love to hear from you. A mysterious “bank” in Philadelphia where the real savings are kindness, wonder, and human values sounds like a gimmick until you step inside and realize the story is built into every floor. We’re taking you with us to the Ministry of Awe, an immersive art installation that feels like part theater, part interactive museum, and part nostalgic adventure. We talk through what makes immersive art work, how you know what you can touch, and why sound, space, and pacing can make an experience feel truly transporting.That same day, we shift from playful discovery to public history at the President’s House site at Independence Mall, reflecting on the enslaved people who lived and worked there and why removing exhibits risks erasing the truth. From there we move into arts and accessibility, including Shakespeare and Company’s Hamlet performances designed with live captions, a sensory-friendly option, and an optional walkthrough to help audiences feel comfortable in the space.We also share autism and entertainment headlines: Exceptional Minds and how autistic adults build careers in animation and visual effects, plus Muppet news that includes a classic April Fools twist and a new puppet web series. Then we tackle a tougher conversation sparked by a Jenna Book Club pick that raises questions about facilitated communication, assumptions about intelligence, and what real authorship looks like. We wrap with Autism Acceptance Month events like the Eagles Autism Challenge and a Philadelphia autistic art exhibition, plus a few Earth Day habits worth stealing.Subscribe for more adventures and thoughtful takes, share the episode with a friend, and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.
