Seeing as we’ve been at this for a minute, we thought it appropriate to save the most important question for last. Why are these “art” conversations even important? The discussion around what art is, what it means and how it shapes the world goes beyond artists, creators and even art consumers. The sole existence of man-made beauty or of wonderfully tailored brokenness points to a greatness in humanity everyone should recognize. Artist or not, we believe this is vital. And whatever answers or lack thereof are sprung out of these past episodes, this series will have been valuable to whoever; adding a thread to the tapestry of our worldview, as it may.
As any learning person can guarantee, it is easy to be drawn by awe and inspiration out of the work of third parties. That inspiration however is very often used to camouflage intelectual and artistic plagiarism. In a day and age where there are literally no new wheels to be invented, how does one move away from mimicking the one’s they’re inspired by? Where does inspiration become plagiarism and what convictions can keep us from that mistake?
This conversation is not groundbreaking and barely even new, but as artists we felt the desire to bring it to light not just from cancel-hungry consumers but from artists themselves who find these answers ever changing. If my art is not me, then surely separation is established. But if my art can be itself without me, what imprint of mine will live? This separation is a spectrum, yet our perspective of it is vital, nonetheless.
It seems to be somewhat of an agreement among people who entitle themselves artists that a lot of what is sold as art isn’t really so. Why is that? What makes art art? Where is its value and how should it be retained? Granted, it’s impossible to objectively answer these questions, but we did come to important conclusions regarding artistry and how to potentially profit off of it without draining it of its truth.
This episode brings a completely new life to the season, if not the podcast entirely. The concept of “art” is something we wholeheartedly love. Though we don’t intend to define and box in what art in its entirety, we have a lot to say about what makes art art, what makes it feel, what gives it meaning and how so clearly passionate we are about it. There is no clear answer as to why we love at so much, but this should give you some insight into it.
Spoiler alert: we barely gave the real answer to this question. Instead we discussed our views on equality, on extremism, our quips with alleged “anti-feminists” and delved back into toxic masculinity and whether its counterpart exists as a real societal phenomenon. We’re definitely biased, but it’s a great conversation to tune into. Answers or not, as you’ll come to find, this topic remains ever thought-provoking and we hope we can all discuss it open-mindedly. links: https://www.forbes.com/sites/karinagness/2016/06/30/new-report-men-work-longer-hours-than-women/?sh=f7a949418b4e - disparity of working hours https://www.topuniversities.com/student-info/university-news/why-are-women-frequently-settling-lower-salaries-men - base salaries https://ucd-advance.ucdavis.edu/post/women-dont-ask-negotiation-and-gender-divide - the negotiating tables https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/07/opinion/sunday/girls-school-confidence.html - self assurance and personal perception
Though the term “accountability” is very commonly brought up, we still believe that its concept is relatively ignored. Likely because not addressing accountability gives us an illusion of having eluded it. Or maybe because there’s a lot that needs to be addressed before accountability in itself is possible and efficient. Whatever the answer(s) may be, the question in itself is worth an episode, especially since it’ll yield a lot more questions and answers to both us and our lovely audience!
Why is toxic masculinity even a thing? on today's episode, we tackle the idea of toxic masculinity shedding a light into the nuances that are not talked about in the usual conversations
In today’s day and age, we see an implied expectation of how people are supposed to dress, express themselves, behave, what career they should choose, what ambitions to have all based upon their gender, and in typical Katt and Eli fashion we ask ourselves why that is. Beyond the divinely established roles in marriage, why do we allow society to establish “acceptable” roles to men and women? And how far should we push to deconstruct those?
Let's kick off with a big question. What even is this modesty thing? From people who don't fit the "modest status quo" a series of questions on how important this important value is. And it is! But why is it? What makes the covering of our bodies so defining to how we live life? Is a body more of a temple because it's hidden behind cloths? Is it less precious if adorned to celebrate its beauty? Join this conversation, and let us know what your thoughts are!
Today we discuss cycles. Beginnings and Endings. The natural cyclical nature of all things alive. It does get annoying when we’re thrown into it with no sense of control, but even now, as control was ours, we realised that maybe that’s not too bad of a disposition. Things start and then they end. Things end to start again. As for what limited power we have, we submit our podcast to this cyclical nature of life because we want it to live and grow as we do, and for everything about it to be and remain purposeful and intentional.

"Your sole existence can make a mark in someone else's life so just living creates a sort of legacy." If you consider your legacy at its most basic as whatever you leave behind, it'll be hard to disregard it even if you're not necessarily striving for it. Today's conversation is around the "but what then?" It is likely that legacy will only mean as much as your purpose for life, and though only you can decide how much weight that will carry, we have a lot of questions to help you get there! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Uploads every Wednesday - Also available on all podcast apps! - Instagram and Twitter: @kattandelipod :) –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Track: Sunflower — Soyb [Audio Library Release] Music provided by Audio Library Plus Watch: https://youtu.be/dG1U3NuR9Pk Free Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/sunflower –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Katt's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKq2H_rgyYKhjfSoPtt2cCA Eli's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFts20VfoT24dWSnkotP72w All rights reserved to Kátia Matiquite and Elias Ossman Jr. 2021

How do you define humility? What makes it so? Is the expression and celebration of greatness mutually exclusive to it? If not, where’s the line between that and pride? Why is being humble necessary... at all?

After a great conversation around perfection we felt it important to discuss the ever preached positivity we’re surrounded by and how much of it is healthy. What does it mean for positivity to be toxic? Can there ever be too much of a good thing? Or a toxic contortion of motivation?

The conversation on this episode revolved around the incessant quest for perfection we all seem to have. Regardless of what you call it, we all seek and crave a utopic life that we might not be able to find in our lifetimes. We concluded that this understanding is relative. Each one of us will have to decide how they define perfection, how achievable that is, and whether or not the search is worth it. On this one the questions are directed at you too and we're excited to hear what you have to add to this very insightful conversation :) Ask us more questions, and if you want to keep the conversation going between one Wednesday to another, find us on socials @kattandelipod :) See you next Wednesday!!! - Uploads every Wednesday - Also available on all podcast apps! - Instagram and Twitter: @kattandelipod :) –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Track: Sunflower — Soyb [Audio Library Release] Music provided by Audio Library Plus Watch: https://youtu.be/dG1U3NuR9Pk Free Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/sunflower –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Katt's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKq2H_rgyYKhjfSoPtt2cCA Eli's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFts20VfoT24dWSnkotP72w All rights reserved to Kátia Matiquite and Elias Ossman Jr. 2021
On this episode the conversations revolves around trying to justify why and when we should ever be responsible for people's feelings. Though the answer might seem obvious, we came to realize this is actually a very layered and nuanced discussion. More so when we got to analyzing whether we should be responsible for our listeners/viewers tics and preferences regarding the things we say and how we say them.
