- That Review Is Wrong
There’s barely any giggling, just all facts. It is all fun, interesting history, facts, and small details. It can also be found on YouTube for visual pictures, but for any painting they include in the show they describe it to their podcast-only listeners.
It’s such a fun show!

Excellent stories, just some annoyances from the way that the microphones have been set up. Lots of popping and hissing, especially on ‘ss’ sounds

Brilliant topics so far! But the hosts and guest expert on "The first modern synthetic pigment" are giggling and tittering so much that I found myself constantly having to rewind and listen to a fact over and over because I can't hear/ understand what is being said over all the laughs/ chortles/ snickers/ chuckles!!!! So annoying! Nothing you are saying is funny!!
Present your facts like adults/ professionals and you will get 5 stars. It is not "FUN" it's annoying!
