Vesperisms S2E8: The Big Truth & The Little Prince—with Ora Itkin

As part of this series on Censorship, here is an interview I did with musician, piano professor and all-around bright light Ora Itkin. We discuss The Little Prince, the primacy of story, and the importance of underground artists, especially for Ora as someone who left the former Soviet Union at its collapse.

Vesperisms: The Art of Thinking for Yourself is the podcast to help you make sense of your place in this crazy world by reclaiming an artistic worldview. Everything around us is trying to push us into boxes, but that's not how artists' minds work. Let's get off that detour and back on the main road to thinking for ourselves: as artists.
