The Baltimore team is excited to continue its partnership with The Truth in This Art, a local podcast hosted by Charm City native Rob Lee that has “bridged arts, culture, and community through authentic, insightful, and curious conversations,” for more than 700 episodes (and counting!)
On a monthly basis, Baltimore editors, contributors, and subjects sit down with Lee to give listeners an inside look at the making of the stories they’re reading in the magazine.
This latest interview (Lee’s 800th episode!) with celebrated multidisciplinary artist and marathon swimmer Katie Pumphrey—who set a record as the first person to ever complete a 24-mile, open water swim from Sandy Point State Park to the Baltimore Harbor in June—is a continuation of coverage from our September issue.
Listen in as Pumphrey discusses her historic swim (which included crossing under one of the remaining spans in the wake of the Key Bridge collapse), how the unpredictable and playful sides of her athletic experiences inspire her art, and her love of Baltimore.
(Spoiler alert: the swimming puns in this episode make a splash.)
Subscribe to The Truth in This Art—available on all streaming platforms—to keep up with our monthly episodes, as well as all of Lee’s robust regular reporting.
