    I love this podcast so much!! It’s the only art podcast I know of that doesn’t have completely clueless guests or hosts on world matters, colonialism and class conflicts. I mean - art is at the center of all that! It also doesn’t sound pretentious or difficult. Finally, the Mayan plate and the Ariella Azoulay episodes are masterpieces. Thank you for the incredible moments I spend listening to you!

    This isn’t really about art…it’s about why politics are more important than art, which is a mental disease voluntarily glommed onto by authoritarian morons on the left and right. Sophomoric, silly, self-righteous , narrow-minded, VERY irritating. Just plain stupid.
