Mary Poppins, Bob Dylan, Harriet the Spy, and whether or not art can have a sense of humor.

In this episode, I talk to artist Wayne White, a Pop Art renaissance man from rural Tennessee. For the past 30 years he's been incredibly prolific, having worked as an illustrator, painter, cartoonist and puppeteer. He's the genius - and Emmy Award-winner - behind the set design of iconic 80s TV show Pee Wee's Playhouse - and more recently has produced public sculptures, word paintings, and a one-man show in which he plays the banjo.
