  • Sensitive informed host makes for fabulous podcast

    I recommend this and the week in art podcast to everyone. Other podcasts never quite convince me, but the format and Ben Luke’s informed, but always open minded and encouraging, style brings out the best in his guests. I have been profoundly educated and entertained by these podcasts.

  • Art and politics

    Great place for hearing directly from artists but with a heavily socialist leaning. As the only conservative artist in London it is therefore equally excellent and challenging.

  • Excellent interviewing style.

    A great way to dive a bit deeper into the minds of working artists. It’s a well thought out, well carried out interview, and you can tell the host has really spent time thinking deeply about the process of making art.
