  • So good!

    Even though I’m not familiar with the work of many of the artists Tim interviews, I inevitably find his conversations with them fascinating. His genuine interest, perceptive questions and down to earth way of engaging with his guests draws me in every time. With each interview, I feel like I’ve made two new friends because with the way Tom interviews, I learn about who the artist is as a person and also something about Tom. I really enjoy Q.

  • Interviews with a something

    I happen to be enchanted by the interview‘s distinct atmosphere.

    There is a nice balance between the spaces filled by the interviewees, and the spiritually very present, but guarded host.
