Welcome to ‘Waldy and Bendy’s Adventures in Art’ – the podcast they couldn’t stop. 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.

Fantastic podcast. I thought you two retired after Covid. Glad to hear some new ones. More please.
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 .❤️
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).
Writing from Dallas, Texas. My wife and I love listening to and watching this podcast on YouTube. You two provide very entertaining and interesting insights into the world of art. Thank you
My favorite podcast ! Hope they never stop making it !
