Life After Telling the Truth on Yourself (Live with Amanda Palmer at Rubin Museum) * Welcome back to another live episode of Podcast Noor! We went into this conversation with the intention of talking about “telling the truth on yourself” - vague, but also specific. Everyone has their own experience with what that means. Throughout the conversation, Amanda and I zoomed in and out of the personal and the collective with what it means to tell the Truth, to tell Your Truth, and the barriers to doing so. This candid conversation is a series of confessions, catharsis, community, and an important reminder inspired by the memory of the late great Sinead O’Connor to: “stop treating women like shit while they’re alive.” *Produced and filmed at the Rubin Museum of Art; hosted by Tim McHenry.For more information about the Rubin, please visit rubinmuseum.org .*Links + Trasncript: www.ays.media/podcastnoor/amandapalmer *Watch the full video on Amanda Palmer's Youtube: www.youtube.com/amandapalmer Amanda's Patreon: www.patreon.com/amandapalmer

Amanda Palmer is a rockstar, an artist, an activist, a writer, and a TED speaker If you google Amanda, you'll find a lot of articles that focus on the brash Amanda 'Fucking' Palmer rockstar persona. You'll find her mistakes, well documented and you'll find outrage that she has the audacity to ASK her people to support her. We didn't interview the rockstar. We interviewed an artist who understands the complexities of making work, asking for support and surviving as a creative in these crazy times.

In business, in music, or in life, there are few people you will meet as unapologetically honest as Amanda Palmer. A lifelong nonconformist, Palmer has evolved from living statue to award-winning musician—as one half of cabaret rock duo Dresden Dolls and soon to hit the stage opening for Morrissey and Blondie—from TED-talker to esteemed author, and now thought leader. Palmer’s Twitter bio colorfully advertises a performer, writer, giver, taker, yeller, listener, love-lover and rule-hater to her one million-plus follower base. And from our own conversation with Palmer, all of these qualities seem fairly apt. But there’s one thing this self-account fails to capture, and that is how authentic she is. Palmer has built legions of passionate fans—and certainly her share of detractors—by having a unique voice that is louder than her music ever could be. And by simply asking. And the answer for many is a loud and resounding YES. Ask, Don’t Tell Being a born storyteller has perhaps taken Palmer in directions even she did not foresee. As an arts graduate Palmer began her professional life as the Eight-Foot Bride on the streets of Cambridge, Mass. During this time she honed a deep curiosity for genuine human connection that has been the underlying theme of all her achievements. It is this story that Palmer shared on the global TED stage in 2013, when she spoke of the profound encounters she experienced with people from all walks, often people who Palmer sensed were very alone. In her recollection, they would momentarily enjoy very intense eye contact and “fall in love a bit.” In seeking this connection with others, Palmer and her Dresden Dolls bandmate Brian Viglione made a habit of always spending time “signing and hugging” with fans after each concert, and from here, the story takes off. In the past decade, Palmer has couch surfed the globe several times, sourced music, food, instruments and a hundred other forms of support from her loyal fan base, crowdfunded a cool $1.1 million to produce an album, and whipped up a good deal of controversy along the way. In this interview you will learn: - How to embrace your audience - How to endure criticism and become a revolutionary in your industry - The importance of asking for help - How to build an extremely strong community - Breaking the rules and why they were created - & So much more

Today my guest is Amanda Palmer. Amanda Palmer is a rock star, former street performer, and a crowdfunding pioneer, who knows all about asking. Performing as a living statue in a wedding dress, she wordlessly asked thousands of passersby for their dollars. After creating the world’s most successful music Kickstarter campaign for her album with the Grand Theft Orchestra, she has written a book titled: The Art of Asking: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help . In her new memoir she tells the story of an artist struggling with the new rules of exchange in the twenty-first century and inspires readers to rethink their own ideas about asking, giving, art and love. There are so many cool things about this woman – not least of which is her post-modern retro punk cabaret band called the Dresden Dolls. She is also married to Neil Gaiman, my favorite comic book illustrator and writer of all things. But perhaps what I love the most about Amanda Palmer is the fact that her nickname is Amanda Fucking Palmer – somehow it just feels right! In today’s episode, Amanda and I spoke about: The Art of Asking and how she learned this art A constant theme in her life: balancing vulnerability with control Dealing with the fear of rejection – and how to ask anyway Relationship based communication and the need to still ask for help The Art of Receiving as an integral part of the ask Here is my conversation “The Art (and Power) of Asking” with the wildly inspirational: Amanda Fucking Palmer.

CP: I’m a little bit outside myself, because I feel like I’ve been stalking you a little bit. [Laughs] AP: [Laughs] CP: So I’m so excited. For the listeners who are tuning in here, this is my first time really talking to Amanda. I think we spoke for a half a minute prior to this, and I’ve been “reading” your book—I’m saying that in quotes here because I love to listen to books on audio— AP: Oh, great! CP: Yes, and I want to say that I’m promoting the audio version of The Art of Asking, because there’s so much in there that’s not in the book. I feel like I’ve really gotten to know you through it, and your voice. So I feel an intimacy. AP: Yes, it’s really nice, as a musician, to put out an audio book, because that’s my medium. That’s what I’m used to, and it’s really nice to add the music and the songs to weave within the story. They really belong there. CP: I love that you sang your intro. It was fabulous. AP: [Laughs] CP: [Laughs] It was so great! AP: Thank you. I’m glad you like it. CP: I just thought it was so unique, and you—just by way of full disclosure, I’m just going to get this out here now so we can get the stalking vibration out. I am also a huge fan—when I was in college, it was Love and Rockets and The Sandman. I mean, that was my deal. So [I’m a] huge fan of your husband, Neil Gaiman, and his work. And when I saw you coming forward on the fabulous TED talk, and I realized who you were, I was like, “Oh my God.” Can you be in love with a couple? AP: Totally! If your polyamorous. CP: Right? So I was in love with Neil, and now I’m in love with you, and the two of you together just makes so much groovy sense, it’s off the charts. I feel especially honored today. AP: Thank you. It makes me really happy when people love Neil’s work, because I love him. And the really lucky thing was I wasn’t a Neil Gaiman fan, and I think that might have been a deal breaker. So I got to fall in love with the weird guy, not T
