  • Too gushy ;thin on content

    I gave up after a few episodes especially Fauves. Please learn to pronounce Derain. And the constant repetition of “extraordinary, wonderful, it blew their minds, etc etc was too irritating to continue with. Sure, there’s a lot of chat, but to my mind there’s very little content.

  • Engaging and informative!

    Jo's enthusiasm for art history is palpable, and she has a great mission to make art history accessible to all. She approaches the subject with an open mind and speaks in a way that is engaging and easy to understand.

    I appreciate her efforts to combat the snobbery often associated with art, encouraging everyone to appreciate and explore art in their own way. I highly recommend her podcast to anyone looking to learn more about art history.

  • Loved every episode.

    Having found a bit more time for learning more about art history, I have found this podcast so insightful. The range of topics is interesting plus some very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guests from lots of different genres. Jo is really engaging. She’s got a style which feels really inclusive, friendly warm and welcoming. I’d really recommend this for anyone who is missing trips to museums and galleries and wants to learn more about a range of art and it’s role in history.
