Apple Podcasts5elenaperegrinaUnited Kingdom7 years ago - Accessible and enriching
I have looked forward to this podcast every week. Immensely listenable, but also thought provoking, these short interviews have captured each interviewees’ passion points about art superbly and Dr Laura-Jane Foley subtly encourages a varied and engaging selection of wider topics across politics, business and cultural history to accompany the art theme. A must listen!
Apple Podcasts5JosephineHartleyUnited Kingdom7 years ago - Engaging, Enlightening, Unmissable.
Whilst Stephen Unwin's excellent choice of paintings and considered approach is engaging at first hearing, the detailed and thought-provoking layering benefits from several hearings. Relating the paintings through various perspective of his work and interests gives a unique and enlightening view.
This is a fascinating series and this episode is not to be missed.

Apple Podcasts5drnjwaddellUnited Kingdom7 years ago - Nathalie Reis
I absolutely love this podcast! It's one of my favourite moments of the week currently. Dr Laura-Jane Foley knows how to inspire people and make art more accessible through a simple interview with a really interesting guest. Perfect length too: short enough to fit in people's busy timetables, but not so short that you haven't learned anything. I hope there are a lot more to come! Thank you :-)
