Kevin Kirkwood hosts a podcast that delves into the creative journeys, processes, and philosophies of contemporary artists. Traveling to new cities to meet regional artists in their own environments, Kevin explores how local culture, community, and place shape creative practice. Each episode offers an intimate look at how artists think, work, and live, highlighting the experimentation, discipline, and intuition that guide their creative paths.

The Strand goes beyond surface level interviews to uncover how ideas are formed, materials are chosen, and meaning is made. Through in-depth conversations, the podcast celebrates the complexity and beauty of artistic labor in its many forms.

With each episode, The Strand becomes a living archive of contemporary creative practice: how ideas evolve, how artists push forward, and how art continues to shape our cultural landscape.

Featured guests include a dynamic range of internationally recognized artists, curators, and gallerists such as:
