Informative, easily digestible and entertaining!

I love the blend of discourse and historical context, they’re great at framing art history well for those who are not previously informed. I loveeee their perspectives and opinions

Just the best

I love this pod, particularly that it’s both smart and approachable. As long as you have an interest in art, you’ll be safe here. This pod is friendly to art newbies but they always have something interesting to say. Also they have great chemistry and banter, and spill some great tea on the institutions of the art world. Highly recommend!

smart & fun

they truly are making art knowledge more accessible!
