Episode 1 : The Life and Death of the NEA
Arts funding in America has been nonexistent or woefully inadequate for most of our nation’s history. The administration’s 2025 cuts to the National Endowment for the Arts take a bad situation and makes it nearly impossible.
In their debut episode, Nathan and Danie analyze and discuss the available data on what projects / organization had grants terminated or cancelled - and whether there’s any visible logic behind it.
They dive into the history of arts funding in America; a too brief tenure ripe with controversy from the very beginning.
