Since the beginning of 2018, the e-flux podcast has broadcast close discussions and exchanges with some of the most engaging people working in the greater contemporary art universe today. See the full list of artists, thinkers, cultural workers, and musicians who have visited our booth and your headphones this year below. All of these conversations are available for your listening bliss and elevated (dis)contentments this holiday season and beyond.

Every episode of the podcast is available for listening, streaming, and download on e-flux, iTunes, Spotify, and Soundcloud.
