The Peanut Gallery
"We're holding these handheld mics because Gen Z likes it that way, but we’re talking about the art because we love it that way."
Join Maggie Duffy and Jana Henson every week on The Peanut Gallery, a Tampa Bay Arts Passport production. Maggie and Jana are trading stuffy art critiques for real, witty, and insightful conversations about the local creative scene. Expect deep dives into current exhibitions, exclusive interviews with the area's top artists, and unfiltered takes on why live theater just hits different. If it’s happening in the Tampa Bay art world, it’s getting talked about in the Gallery.

Hosts Jana Henson and Maggie Duffy catch up on the latest and greatest in the Tampa Bay arts scene. From the "lore drop" on the mermaids at Floridorama to the intense, raw energy of live local theater, this episode covers the spectrum of cultural happenings.
We take a deep dive into fine art exhibits currently at the MFA St. Pete and Tampa Museum of Art, discussing themes of transmutation and the "spaces between."
Finally, we welcome Claireann Despain of Powerstories Theater to talk about their "Greater Good" season and the off-Broadway hit Predictor—the true story of how a graphic designer in the 1960s changed women's healthcare forever.
