4.6 out of 5 stars from 726 ratings
  • This is a great podcast on the current state of the art world — museum shows, art trends, market trends, artists both new and old. The hosts are knowledgeable, engaging and just opinionated enough. I've been listening sporadically for years and was motivated to review the podcast after the fantastic latest episode on Raphael (find it and listen). Several episode topics interest me less, but there's a big variety — just read the descriptions.

  • Absolute Hypocrites

    It’s incredible how critical you are of the United States and western culture and completely ignoring the horrid human rights violations actively being committed in the Middle East. You’re all complicit in white washing the regimes.

  • Great content, thoughtful interviews

    I appreciate the range of art historical and contemporary topics covered—always entertaining and informative listening. The hosts’ (esp. Kate and Naomi) openness to controversial topics and interviewees is refreshing in a realm that is often reactive and judgmental in its criticism.
