Host is so enjoyable to listen to and asks all the right questions. This podcast opens my mind to the infinite possibilities. Aftera podcast I look into books, museums, other individuals mentioned in show.
Good content but I prefer to hear the interviewee talk without the host commenting and that laugh ! Shame really
Your interview with Tracey Emin was brilliant. She seemed at ease with your comforting style, opening up about her life of art. Amazing. I can’t wait to see the Tate exhibit.
I love Katy Hessel, I discovered what an amazing person she was by chance when she was interviewing Sally Mann at the V&A. And then I found this podcast and it has opened my eyes and my heart. Thank you! Listening to the Marina Warner episode was like reading a book and realising you will never see the world in the same way afterwards.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing a new episode in my podcast feed, and the start of a new season of The Great Women Artists!!! Thank God the wait is over!
