Don't You Lie to Me - podcast

Don’t You Lie to Me is a Durham, North Carolina-based podcast production company dedicated to bringing engaging and enlightening conversations about the visual arts scene to a wide audience.

We specialize in creating audio content that demystifies the art world, interviewing artists and arts professionals across North Carolina and beyond. Our approach centers on accessible, frank, and humorous dialogues, mirroring the genuine rapport between our hosts, Warren Hicks and Jeff Bell.

Warren, a painter and installation artist with a background in music retail and publishing, and Jeff, a sculptor with experience in museum registrar roles, combine their local connections and artistic perspectives to deliver a unique podcast experience. Don’t You Lie to Me offers a portable artist talk, perfect for listeners on the go, and features a lively, self-deprecating tone, much like the creators’ friendship.

From Chapel Hill’s Carrie Alter to Raleigh’s Brandon Cordrey, we’ve interviewed a diverse range of artists and arts organizations, highlighting their stories and processes. We are proud to support the vibrant art community through our podcast and collaborations with organizations like Visual Art Exchange.
