About
Hosted by Kayte Young, Alex Chambers, and Tyler Lake, Nice Work explores the arts, culture, and imagination of south central Indiana. Each episode is a joyful invitation into the stories that nourish us — and what comes next.
Each time I’ve finished listening to an episode of Nice Work, I feel deep gratitude that I get to live in Bloomington with other artists and creative people. I have especially enjoyed some of the more time sensitive elements of the show... It feels a bit like I have curated fieldtrips now…
And Alex, Kayte, and Tyler have such great chemistry!"
—Claire Miller, Bloomington, IN
