Hello, NEOhioPAL! Do you enjoy theatre? How about talk about Art and how we create and consume it, especially in the NEO market? Maybe you'd like some talk about superheroes and their artistic merits? Perhaps some chatter about social issues in and around the Arts is enticing, too?

If any or all of that sounds like something you'd fancy, then tune into your NEO Arts podcast: Backstage Buddies! Join Jason Leupold and Joe Pine each week on Equity Monday as they talk about creating and consuming art, but with a healthy dose of irreverent silly chatter.
