  • Proud of the art but honest about its origins

    I don’t see the problem about being honest about the origins of art but telling the ‘truth ‘ about its origins.

    Is this two middle class white men winging?

    Love the pod but stop being so reactionary .❤️

  • Welcome back from Kailua, Hawaii.

    Waldy and Bendy went silent in 2021 after a year and a half of podcasts, culminating with two wonderful Christmas episodes. Each Christmas after, I would listen to these and lament that I wish there could be more. And, beyond all hope, they returned! An excellent podcast about art, the established art world, and more. Love it (and them).
