This podcast is wonderful.
So engaging and inspiring.
Introducing me to so many new artists and getting my creative blood flowing.
Thank you x
I absolutely Adore this showā¦
I used to find driving for 40 minutes to various places a bind, but now I look forward to it because Iāve got Robert & Russell ( or sometimes just one of the two) to accompany me on the journey.
This is a super-bright, highly intelligent, curious and exciting podcast. I find that it vastly informs my own work⦠the variety of guests with their different practices and bents is always inspiring and amazing for filling in the gaps, you didnāt know you had !

KAWS interview - KAWS has got to be the most insipid maker of stuff that is most definitely not art - but extremely mediocre design . As one eminent voice in art criticism said itās āartā for people who donāt like art.
Such mediocre producers of āstuffā often cite Warhol as an inspiration - it goes without saying, such an uncritical maker aside from the obvious business angle hasnāt the faintest idea of what Warhol was about
If youāre planning to interview a podcast guest, it might be a good idea to ask Chat GPT for a bio beforehand. It takes 2 minutes. Russellās question to Alison Goldfrapp of, āWhoās Will Gregory?ā was embarrassing, but Alison handled it like a pro. And then, āWhoās Tricky?ā Do better!
Such engaging interviews. Ive learnt so much from you both. Thank you.
