Big Table
BIG TABLE is a half-hour arts program/podcast, an exploration into art and culture as told through interviews with authors and artists, conducted and curated by writer, editor, and publisher J.C. Gabel and a small cast of contributors.
This podcast is a co-production between Hat & Beard, Dublab, and Gold-diggers and is dedicated to the interviewing style and enduring memory of Studs Terkel, the Chicago oral historian, actor, activist, TV pioneer, and long-time radio host and author. You can find out more about Studs’ work here. BIG TABLE is our biggest digital footprint.
Hosted, Written and Produced by J.C. Gabel, Sound Editing and Design by musician and composer Matteah Baim. Our Audio Engineer is Jacob Ross who has spent the last 25 years doing live sound at music venues in Chicago and Los Angeles. Our Senior Editor is Nick White who has spent the last 15 years working for KCRW and WBEZ in addition to helping fine-tune the early years of the podcasts The Sound of Young America (now Bullseye with Jesse Thorn) and WTF with Marc Maron.
