Bad at Sports Episode 202: Manon Slome

This week (the) Amanda Browder and Tom talk with
curator Manon Slome about the "No Longer Empty" series of exhibitions.
Manon is one of the curators of this year long series of shows, each of
which inhabits an abandoned New York City store front for one month.
Along the way the three talk about the dismal state of affairs in Ol'
New York and how we can make lemonade out of these lemons.
