The Art Institute of Chicago has introduced a new podcast, the Musecast. The Chicago museum plans to offer interviews, conversations, features, and music. The podcast has grown out of the museum’s online lectures and gallery talks, which have been available for download for several months.

The most recent podcast (link below) features an interview with Betti Xiang, as she plays the Chinese erhu and talks about music of the Silk Road; conceptual artist Mel Bochner speaks with curator Mark Pascale; and an update on projects at the Museum.
