HiatusEp 0.2 - Hub & Spoke Presents: Open Source

The Lonely Palette is on break until November 2019, so every
Wednesday in October, a different Hub & Spoke producer will
take the host's chair to present an episode of their show that
Tamar is especially fond of. Enjoy this month's podcast petri dish
of art, culture, history, and society, and subscribe to any and all
Hub & Spoke shows at www.hubspokeaudio.org. This week: Open
Source with Christopher Lydon is a local conversation with global
attitude. "The Bauhaus in Your House," which originally aired on
90.9 WBUR in April 2019, is an exploration of art, architecture,
and design with Tamar Avishai, Peter Chermayeff, Ann Beha, and
Sebastian Smee. The Bauhaus was the art school in Germany that
created the look of the twentieth century. We just live in it:
loving its white-box affordability, or hating its stripped, blank,
glass-and-steel uniformity, the world around. It’s the IKEA look in
the twenty-first century, the look of Chicago skyscrapers and now
Chinese housing towers, the look of American kitchens and probably
the typeface on your emails. It was the less-is-more school that
made ornament very nearly a crime. It stood, and stands, for a few
big ideas still hotly contested. Listen to Open Source at
www.radioopensource.org, or wherever you get your podcasts. Next
