Over 30 years ago, when co-hosts Ron Silver and West Moss were practically kids, they opened Bubby’s Restaurant in New York City, and while they’re no longer partners, the business, and their friendship have survived the decades.

In the intervening years, both Ron and West have turned their energy to making art – Ron as a visual artist and West as a writer. In interviews, these two old friends (who simultaneously love and want to kill each another) chat with a wide range of artists from playwrights to painters, to jewelers and musicians, about how they set up their lives in weird and fascinating ways that we can all learn from.

  • Scott King on Showrunning, Story Structure, and Not Fitting In

    Scott King on Showrunning, Story Structure, and Not Fitting In
    Dec 7 2025
    Ron and West catch up with their old friend Scott King (head writer/showrunner: MADtv, The Big Gay Sketch Show, Difficult People, Harlem; co-showrunner of the new series Overcompensating) for a fast, funny deep dive into how TV actually gets made now. Scott breaks down the writers’ room vs. showrunner roles, why today’s shrinking outlets make greenlights tougher, and how notes, production, and post are really three more drafts of the script. They talk strikes, the “writer on set” problem, AI’s limits for comedy cadence, and the craft of turning specific, lived experience into something universal. Plus: Sarah Lawrence origins, Bubby’s memories, 4D Jurassic World, Andrea Martin love, John Waters sightings, and designing a creative life between Palm Springs, Key West, and (maybe) New York—complete with Botox poker face jokes and why owning a home isn’t the only definition of “stable.”

  • Midwifing Movements: On Art, Capitalism, and the Courage to Cultivate

    Midwifing Movements: On Art, Capitalism, and the Courage to Cultivate
    Nov 23 2025

    In this expansive and deeply personal conversation, Ron and West sit down with Uli Ibargüen Ortiz - a strategist, consultant, and self-described “entrepreneurial midwife” to talk about everything from the origins of the Lomographic Society to the slow beauty of gardening in the Catskills.


    Uli shares how she transitioned from being a trained midwife in Austria to building creative ventures like Lomography USA and Studio 55, working at the intersection of art, culture, and entrepreneurship. Along the way, she explores what it means to truly support artists, why she’s pulling back from capitalism, and how storytelling and slowness might offer a path forward.


    This episode touches on collective visioning, post-capitalist structures, and the sacred power of good ideas; especially when they’re carried, nourished, and eventually birthed into the world. Also discussed: meme coins, herbaceous metaphors, and Ron’s dream of founding a post-apocalyptic art school.

  • Butter Nannies, Deep Throat, and the Art of Keeping Going

    Butter Nannies, Deep Throat, and the Art of Keeping Going
    Nov 9 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with our dear friend and early Bubby’s alum Maggie De Silva—artist, writer, brunch survivor, and jam-covered arm philosopher. Maggie takes us back to the very beginning of Bubby’s: before coffee, before hot food, before tables—just pie and a dream. We talk about eccentric Tribeca regulars (including a woman who ordered broth for her dog), surviving the infamous brunch shift, and how creativity lives in the margins of working parenthood.


    Maggie also shares how losing a shared studio during the pandemic unexpectedly led her into installation art, why she’ll never hang certain pieces across from someone’s bed, and the joys of collecting weird objects and weirder stories. Along the way we cover JFK Jr., celebrity sightings, secret art hoards, outdoor cafés, artificial intelligence’s failure to replace real writers, and an unexpected tangent into babysitting, VHS porn, and the cow hoof cleaning algorithm of doom.


    This one’s part nostalgia trip, part art world detour, and part tribute to making a life out of whatever scraps you’ve got lying around.
