Ochai, who listeners might recognize as the creative director of America's best Black arts and craft beer festival, Barrel &amp; Flow, reveals to Day and Ed why he briefly lost his joy for painting: \u201cI was trying to create something that people would like, instead of creating from something that was inside me.\u201d The comment prompts a conversation about what inspires real, meaningful artistry, no matter the form. Alongside a Black beer history month six-pack from Chicago\u2019s Bitter Pops, these creative professionals go on to discuss everything from Basquiat, to summers at the Braddock Beach, to why you shouldn\u2019t schedule a podcast recording on your anniversary. &amp;nbsp; Guest: Corey Ochai Location: 1028 Podcast Studio, Sharpsburg, PA.&amp;nbsp; Production: Epicast. &amp;nbsp; #EdandDay in The Burgh | verylocal.com\/ed-and-day-in-the-burgh-how-to-watch\/ &amp;nbsp; March 16 | Ed &amp; Day in The 'Burgh Season 2 Premiere Watch Party | barrelandflow.com\/events &amp;nbsp; Aug 12 | Barrel &amp; Flow 2023 | barrelandflow.com &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"Drinking Partners","author_url":"http:\/\/drinkingpartners.libsyn.com\/podcast","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/26234739\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/148188732"}
