I’m Waldy – otherwise known as Waldemar Januszczak, art critic of the Sunday Times – and with my co-host Bendor ‘Bendy’ Grosvenor, the celebrated art historian and TV presenter, we’re going to be looking at interesting things that are happening in art during the great lockdown.

So glad to have this podcast back. As someone who has never studied art but always been endlessly beguiled by it, I find Waldy and Bendy really accessible. Their discussions and explanations have provided a portal to a deeper level of understanding - though my wife gets really annoyed by the amount of time I now spend attempting to interpret and analyse the meaning of background objects.
Waldy and Bendy have returned! I am often on the road, driving for hours, and listening to these two is a joy! Be sure to check them out on YouTube too for the full experience.
I first followed this podcast back in those crazy days of Covid and it was a lovely bright point during the madness. I was so sorry when you disappeared and am absolutely thrilled that you’re back to entertain and educate. If I could give 10 points I would. Long may you both reign!
It is so great to have this fantastic podcast back. They were especially valuable during Covid and will once again be required listening.
