In this episode, WQED travels to Pittsburgh’s local yet internationally recognized fur-suiting convention, Anthrocon. At an event known for highlighting the intricate costumes, we learn there’s more to their artistic endeavors, including music! Oliver Arner speaks with six musicians from the Anthrocon Jazz Big band just after their second annual big band performance. They discuss their achievements this year, and the history of how the group came together to create one of the most anticipated events at this convention.
This is Episode 1 of "Outside the Box Office" short series by Oliver Arner, from Summer of 2024 - Winter of 2024. This was a personal project of his that he was able to pursue and start with WQED-FM. Putting this in VOTA as it fits it best.
