    I was moved by the whole episode with SN. At the end particularly when Josh Baehr says to her in response to something she was saying about being sort of pigeonholed: “You are a great artist. You are not a great artist from Bushwick. You are not a great artist from Iran. You are not a great artist from America. You are a great artist.” I started to cry, actually. Thanks, Josh Baehr for speaking your heart to the art world.

  • A turn off

    This is the first unfavorable podcast review I have ever felt compelled to write. Really wanted to learn about the art market and corrections it might be going through but found the episode unhelpful/uniformative and the attitude of the speaker felt like he was “above” all of us listeners. I thought you might want to know how it came off to at least this one listener.
