I love Lindsay’s sense of humor, and I am blow away at the amount of research and dedication she puts into every episode. I planned a trip to Boston literally because of the Isabella Stewart Gardner episodes.

Lindsay is so awesome to listen to. I love her knowledge on art history, how she presents the knowledge, and her sense of humor. Oh, and how can I forget?. .I love Gus, too. I love art history, but do not have the time to do the research, so thanks Lindsay for doing the work, and then telling us listeners. I also love how your podcast does not sound like a lecture, but a story. I like that! Keep up the amazing job.

I love, love, LOVE your podcast. It’s so smart, witty and thoughtful provoking without being stuffy. There’s really no other art history podcast that compares to Lindsay’s refreshing and fun storytelling. I wish she’d come back to do more:)

This is an amazing listen! Lindsay, I just found this podcast and It’s incredible entertaining and interesting, also quite fun! I’m just a regular person (no art history phd or even close) working in finance who happens to love art and you make everything so easy to understand and so enjoyable! I’m dreading the possibility of running out of episodes soon!
Apple Podcasts5Nickname2411United States2 months ago - WOW!
This is an Art Historical Tour De Force. As someone with just a BA in art history and one year of an incomplete masters program I am blown away by the research and scholarship of Ms. Sheedy or should I say Dr. Sheedy? I just finished part 1 of the Gardener Heist and have begun part 2. I live in LA and spend way too much time in my car. I have also been listening to way too much crime and court podcasts. My fifteen year old daughter is often with me and I don't want her hearing all the sad sto... more
