I know it’s about writing, but I also loved listening to Cassie Packard and Mary Louise Schumacher talk about editing, and Packard’s approach to art show reviews. The story about the college kid Packard was sharing Amy Sillman’s epic 2011 essay, “Ab-Ex and Disco Balls” is also choice. But after teeing up a slew of Packard’s writing in the links I hadn’t known before, my next biggest takeaway from her Rabkin Interview is introducing me to Merve Emre’s podcast, The Critic And Her Publics, which is now filling up my queue.
