In this age of trashy reality television, here are a few innovative programs worth watching:
Iconoclasts is a fantastic show on the Sundance Channel which features two different ground-breaking public figures interviewing one another and sharing insights.
"ICONOCLASTS explores the intersection where two great talents meet - and where creativity comes alive."
-Robert Redford, executive producer
Some of our favorite pairings over the past four seasons:
Tom Ford, designer + Jeff Koons, artist
Paul Simon, musician + Lorne Michaels, SNL producer
Deepak Chopra, philosopher/physician + Mike Myers, comedian/actor
Bill Maher, comedian + Clive Davis, music producer
Also found on the Sundance Channel is a show following Keith Johnson, the buyer-at-large of found objects for Anthropologie stores. Each episode whisks you away to an exotic locale where Keith and friends scour markets in search of unique art and furniture to fill the company's 123 stores.

Chef Sam Mason, renowned for his suprising culinary combinations and his use of molecular gastronomy, has merged his love of food and music with the Independant Film Channel's original series Dinner With the Band. In each episode, Mason has an indie music group over to his Brooklyn apartment where he creates a meal and cocktail inspired by the group's background and work. Inspiring music and innovative food...what more can you ask for?
