This isn't my standard interview-style podcast. Instead, it's an affectionate account of the 83-year-old David Hockney, whom writer Barbara Isenberg interviewed in late 2020. Barbara graciously gave me permission to share the story with you.

Thanks so much for listening. And please email me at josh@worklifeathome.com if you enjoy this and would like to hear more of these short narrative pieces.

Music for the episode includes two beautiful piano variations by DJ Griffin.
