  • One of the Best

    I recently started to listen to “Curious Objects”. I am enjoying everything about the show. The host, Benjamin Miller, invites interesting guests, the podcast isn’t scripted but the conversations he has with various collectors, designers, and specialists are clearly structured so that the listener learns a good deal about a fascinating topic. Thank you!

  • Pure Delight

    I discovered Curious Objects just last month and have been devouring it, going through all the episodes, often twice. I have recommended it to many friends and I describe it as “This American Life” meets “Fresh Air”. Always informative, often quirky and funny, it has become a source for new shops and galleries to visit and new books to read (my wife and I have already purchased a couple). Kudos to Ben and his team.
