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.
