- Great content!
This podcast was just what I was looking for on my quest to learn more about women artists. The episodes were informative without getting dry and the length was just enough to be engaging. I liked the diversity of artists chosen as well as the presenters the host picked. I learned about artists I never knew before and with every new episode I googled the artist to find out more! I would definitely recommend.

Australia6 years ago - Fresh engaging voices
The pairing of contemporary voices with their artist subjects here is spot on. I started listening by cherry-picking my favourite artists but ended up enjoying them all. Particularly well edited and presented and would make a great teaching tool. I hope it eventually covers every artist on the Instagram account!
