Can we at least get a five minute acknowledgement update about the fireplace episode? Even if it’s to say that the guy ghosted you and lost contact OR if it’s to tell us you’ll be doing a follow up episode? In 2023 it sounded like he would have test results back fairly soon—but then no word about it from you guys. If you don’t have any answers from him that’s fine but please just let us know where it went from there or tell us there’s an episode coming or something please.
Never really thought I was an art fan but I just love this podcast can’t get enough now I am up to date I am so frustrated waiting for the next episode. Turbo should be given his own show he is so interesting :) well done guys please keep them coming
It never gets boring.
Terrific great deep dives into Gardner Heist
Pod started out very interesting - storyline and info was intriguing and entertaining. It has now devolved into just having conspiracy theorists on spitting stupidity with aboslutely zero logic or research behind it.
