    I have recommended this podcast to loads of people, and if/when I have time I read the texts along with them with the show. The art education I never had (or just wasn’t paying attention to at the time).

  • Sad vibes

    I was rather disappointed on one of the episodes they referred to artists who were white by name but did not do the same for artists who were black- and grouped them as ‘black artists’. Mehhh, bad vibes.
