  • Brilliant

    What a fresh, gorgeous conversation about contemporary art. By chance I started to hear this podcast and it is super useful to listen everywhere + anytime. Especially if you are an art student or working in art-related area, there are a lots of gems. I love their efforts, even as a small part, pronouncing the name of an artist(town, etc which is often pronounced in a wrong way) as possible as accurately. It is such a huge joy, get to know unknown artists.
