Introducing the Total Orbit Documentation System,™ likely the world's first complete rotary interview apparatus deployed in such a manner. Our immersive, gyratory video capture facility is fully designed and fabricated in-house resulting in a pioneering full-circle experience engine that is not state of the art: it redefines the art. This absolute whirligig platform makes its world premiere with Season 4 of the Location 1980 Gallery & Studio Podcast. After surviving a wild year the studio stands tall, locked & loaded for a thrilling 2026, kicking off immediately with Napa & Michelle's FRACTURE & FORM on February 21st. For the first time ever, we have taken our pod taping beyond the borders and into a new world: 1984. Catch the guys as they say say good riddance to 2025, find fondness for its good parts, and welcome 2026 with open arms - with a never before seen perspective. We're glad you're listening, but trust us: you want the video for this one.

Tonight the guys sit down with Nick Stiles, a longtime enthusiast and participant at the studio. Nick is an immensely skilled painter who works strongly in the domains of fantasy, darkness, and imagination. Especially notable is his talent with the figure, long understood as the pinnacle of practice in art: training to render the human form trains one to render anything. He also has several large, public murals to his credit, and recently gave a four-part figure drawing course here at Location 1980.

Tonight's guest Dr. Bridget R. Cooks is the most well-read person we've had on the show. With a Ph.D. in Art History, Visual and Cultural Studies, she is a published author, has written in dozens of exhibition catalogues and academic journals, and has curated numerous exhibitions around the country. But these are only a few of the credentials, stories, and accomplishments in her name: to list everything we talk about in this episode would be impossible. And presently, she's stepping across the aisle, picking up the brush and becoming a visual artist herself. We only dipped our toes in the pool and can't wait to have her back - tune in to one of our most articulate episodes yet

Tonight the duo hosts Ed Dutcher, a screenwriter with numerous irons in the fire - something they learn is necessary if you're going to make it as an unknown in Hollywood. The glamour is real, and so is the uphill battle atop moving ground. With experience amongst the many disciplines of cinema, including producing, Ed is focused on screenwriting and tells us the skills - many internal attitude choices and grit - that it takes to succeed as an artist in the unique industry that is Hollywood.

Tonight's guest, Scott Ludwig, has been in the game for some thirty years. To simply address his works as "abstract" would be to miss the deeper layers of process that go on. Beyond depicting designed scenes, Scott's work experiments with the very medium itself: he has an intimate understanding of viscosities, transparencies, and intermixabilities of various pigments and carriers. What's more, he never stops experimenting and moving forward. Listen in to see how he keeps his engagement with art - as both a producer and an enjoyer - constantly fresh.

The guys do the annual Year in Review episode, looking at the triumphs and tribulations of last year while also what's exciting in 2025. It's been a year of great change at the gallery, especially in the last few months. But if there's any consistent theme at Location 1980, it's adaptability & rising to challenges. Pop some champagne and tune in!
