President Stoute was featured in the Viewpoints section of The Buffalo News on Sunday, March 16, with an op-ed addressing the growing inequality in college athletics and its impact on March Madness, the beloved NCAA basketball tournament. In the op-ed, titled “March Sadness: The Curtain Call for Cinderella Stories,” President Stoute examines how financial disparities between power conference schools and smaller institutions threaten the future of underdog runs that have long defined March Madness.

The book is in part a biography of Ryan’s aunt and uncle, the visual artists Cindy Suffoletto and Andrew Topolski, and in part a memoir tracing their influence on Ryan’s own path into the arts and development as a writer.

The podcast episode, entitled “A Dialogue Across Time & Absence,” explores the turbulent and competitive New York art scene and touches on the topics of family, creativity, the sacrifices demanded by a life in the arts, and grief.
