great storytelling. loved it.
Podchaser56 years agoTheCheshireCatIt’s beautifully made and makes an intimidating subject more welcoming and approachable than many sources. If you have an interest in art (or want to but have been intimidating to dive in) give Accession a listen.
Podchaser56 years agoEnfieldArts- Intimate and beautifully crafted
I just met Ponders at a panel he was on at Podcast Movement and was intrigued at the concept. I listened to the episode on Night and was blown away. Incredibly immersive, intimate, with gorgeous writing and highly technical sound design. Can’t wait to listen to the rest!

United States7 years ago - Delightfully informative
I’m always learning something new from this podcast. Can’t wait for Season 2 which is going to give us a cross-country look at museums while exploring the theme of “Home.”
Apple Podcasts5TauZamanUnited States7 years ago - The 99% invisible of art history
Accession is a lovely, warm invitation into the art world. Excellent sound design and editing. The host is enthusiastic and engaging. A must for anyone who loves art, or who wants to but hasn’t because it seems too elitist

Canada7 years ago - In one word, amazing.
T.H. Ponders makes studying art enjoyable. If you’ve never taken an interest in art or art history, or find it to be a bore, listening to his podcasts makes you completely rethink that outlook. Ponders has a passion for art that emanates through his recordings. Take a listen and you’ll see why many of us agree that this is an excellent podcast.

Apple Podcasts5Euph manUnited States7 years ago - Excellent show!
Every episode gets me to think more critically about the art discussed and has broadened my horizons to new types of art. Excellent podcast!
Apple Podcasts5pjohn123United States7 years ago - Art for your eyes through your ears
If you enjoyed the The Memory Palace MET residency pieces you’ll love this podcast. If you enjoy watching Sister Wendy you’ll love this podcast. Even if you have no idea what I’m talking about (The Memory Palace or Sister Wendy) I’m sure you’ll love this podcast. Every episode is a beautiful piece of audio art.
Apple Podcasts5allrecyclableUnited States7 years ago - Learned something new about myself!
I’ve really enjoyed listening to this podcast. I always thought I didn’t like Shakespeare, but this pod had convinced me that I was wrong. Can’t wait for the next episode!
Apple Podcasts5MoGiv86United States7 years ago - Like Listening to Comfort Food
This show is wonderful. It’s got a great concept. You get a little bit of art history, some personal journals, and several little tidbits of human connection that weave in and out of the pleasant descriptions of various paintings. Plus, the music is also both appropriate and soothing for the listen. Great for an overcast day. Or any day.
Apple Podcasts5NathanielDL3United States7 years ago - A podcast not to miss out on
Accession helped me understand art and how little details can change the meaning of an entire piece. I was able to find deeper meaning in these pieces through this podcast. A podcast not to miss out on.
Apple Podcasts5chrisshiaUnited States7 years ago - Beautiful
This podcast is incredible and he has an amazing voice!
Apple Podcasts5brandboykimUnited States7 years ago - Educational, Inspiring, and Wonderful.
The adventurous nature of this show hooked me from the beginning. It's fun, creative, and the concept rules. Especially the idea that I could actually GO to one of the places! I probably won't, but looking at the art pre / during the episode is a great way to supplment the audio.
