About The Episode
The United States Postal Service has announced a 2025 postage stamp honoring actress Betty White.
The stamp, based on a 2010 photo of White, is a work by Massachusetts artist
Dale Stephanos. As an illustrator his clients include “Rolling Stone,” “Mad Magazine” and “The New York Times.” His work is exhibited in galleries across the country. Dale Stephanos joins The Culture Show to talk about his work, what it’s like to work with the USPS and how he managed to honor Betty White’s animal rights activism into the stamp’s illustration.
From there we talk to John Flansburgh, one half of the iconic alt-rock duo
They Might Be Giants. TMBG have charmed audiences with their eclectic, genre-bending style for decades. They’ve released countless albums, contributed music to TV shows such as “Malcolm in the Middle,” and wriggled their way into the public consciousness with songs like “Doctor Worm” and “Birdhouse in your Soul.” They Might Be Giants will be bringing their “Big Tour” to Boston with a pair of shows this Saturday and Sunday, December 14th and 15th, at the Orpheum Theatre.

Finally we head to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston for an overview of their exhibition
Georgia O’Keeffe and Henry Moore. The co-curators of the exhibition, Courtney Harris and Erica Hirshler join The Culture Show to talk about this major exhibition, which is on view through January 20, 2025.
