John Haas Around The Art World In 80 Days, Carrie Aikman - Food Sharing, Academia Invasion!

John Haas of Haas Art Advisory joined us in the studio today to tell us about his latest project  - an upcoming new television program "Around The Art World In 80 Days".  John is an internationally known art advisor and gallerist, who's in town for Art Basel and a pop-up art show that he's curated which goes on until Saturday.  The television show will feature new emerging and established global artists and their process of art-making. John's show will be the "invitation" instead of the intimidation in the art world.  

Carrie Aikman brought the "green" tonight with a spotlight on food waste. While exploring 'Umwelttage Basel' she learned about "Food Sharing Basel," an organization which has been active in the diverting still edible food from the waste stream. To learn more about this amazing organization and become a part of the solution, go to www.foodsharing.de. Donate food, take food, save food, and be a hero to the environment!

We also had an invasion of sorts on The English Show!  Students from Academia International School had put together their own radio show and we had the pleasure of broadcasting it to you!  The name of their program was titled, "Basel Volume." and it featured different topics such as movie reviews, sports, school life and others.  We at The English Show would like to congratulate Liv-Grete, Tessa, Toby, Elliot, Valerie, Jakov, Sasha, Devina, Alfie and Maks on a job well done! 

Our music theme tonight was based on Summer and the intense heat that we experience in the season.  Our songs chosen to represent this theme were as follows:
