- Sheer Delight!
HIRSCHFELD CENTURY PODCAST is deeply informative to anyone who is interested in the popular culture of the 20th Century, not just Hirschfeld fans or theatre fans. You are in reliable hands listening to David and Katherine talk about the subjects of Hirschfeld cartoons, Hirschfeld’s illustrious friends and colleagues and the world they lived in. (And David and Katherine are funny and entertaining together!). Great stuff!!!

United States2 years ago - You Don’t Know What You’re Missing!!
I have to say, in the world we live in these days, this podcast series and the time spent researching the people/events mentioned in it have been an oasis for me. Each episode is like a cold sip of water in the desert. They’re not just educating and entertaining us listeners; they are also providing a respite. What’s more, is I’m not alone in thinking so. I’ve recruited several friends (who are also Hirschfeld collectors, admirers & fellow theatre folk) who have also started listening to the pod... more

If you spent Sunday mornings looking for Nina in the Arts & Leisure section of the New York Times, or if you love Broadway's golden and modern age, or if you want to hear two quirky intelligent characters add color to Mr Hirschfeld's black and white pen line drawings, then by gosh this is the podcast for you. You can tell these two enjoy the topics and each other and play off each other so well. A millennial and a post baby boomer trying to share a cultural consciousness. It's a hoot AND educati... more
Apple Podcasts5GigahawUnited States8 years ago - Fun and interesting reflections on a great artist.
I’m a huge Al Hirschfeld fan and I know a lot about his immense catalog of stunning work, but I still learn tons about the man and his art through this delightful podcast. Each episode has its roots in the interesting long life and the stories behind the artist’s vast oeuvre, and it blossoms with David’s encyclopedic knowledge and deep passion spurred on by Katherine’s studied enthusiasm and youthful perspective. It’s informative and funny, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Apple Podcasts5SquigsUnited States8 years ago - Great insight on both Broadway and the artist himself for the beginner and advanced theatre fan
Simply a must for any broadway fan! Very interesting to hear David discuss the facts and personality of Mr. Hirschfeld as well as the world of entertainment through the years. Such a delite to hear this information presented in a fun, yet very concise manor. Katherine does a great job leading the discussions and allowing listeners to know when they are really hearing something that few have heard before. It is great for aspiring actors and "theatre geeks" to hear the importance of someone who fo... more
