GP 402 Museum Field Trip - Secrets in a 19th Century Painting


In this special edition of our most popular show to date, Gerald and Cheyenne take you on a field trip to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art – LACMA. It’s behind the scenes at an after-hours closed session of the American Art Council. Gerald is giving a talk on the scandal behind Julius Stewart’s painting The Baptism, which is the basis for his sixth novel, Bonfire of the Vanderbilts.

You’ll find pictures mentioned here on our website getpublishedradio.com. They’re also in the book. He gave the presentation standing in front of the painting.

Now, why are we taking you here? One of our mantras on GetPublished! Radio is that no one is stopping you. Gerald doesn't have a degree in art history – he's just an enthusiastic researcher. But if he had waited for scholars in this field to bless his results or for a mainstream publisher to vet the project – it probably would never have happened. But as it was, he self-published in paperback, ebook, and audiobook.

As you listen, realize that even now the museum doesn’t necessarily agree with all his findings. But they were impressed enough to invite him to speak behind closed doors to this influential group.

Question for your comments: Why has this been our most popular episode?

GP424 - Spirituality and Metaphysics


Host Gerald Everett Jones and his co-hosts Cheyenne Cockrell and Thomas Page discuss "Spirituality and Metaphysics" with Denis Hutchison, a healing practitioner based in Sedona, AZ and proprietor of "Afterglow." A certified therapist with a spiritual practice counseling, he has experience in a wide range of spiritual and metaphysical books. Denis responds to our questions, including:

  1. How did you two get into this field, and what does your practice entail?
  2. Sedona, AZ is known as a magical, and even sacred place. How would you describe it for our listeners?
  3. What kinds of spiritual and metaphysical books do you read and recommend?
  4. Should authors assume that their core audience has a particular set of beliefs? Or typical problems or concerns?
  5. There are lots of books on Near Death Experiences, but few by souls who had bad trips. Care to comment?
  6. Can you identify trends in this area? Are there any topics that you think should be covered more or better?
  7. Denis, you talk about the importance of having a sense of humor. Will you share more about that with us?
  8. Do you think that physical health is always somehow related to spiritual or mental states?
  9. Do you think faith and curiosity are mutually exclusive?
  10. How can listeners get in touch with you?

And, as ever, there's lots of advice on how to get published, including the support resources at our website getpublishedradio.com.
