  • Triumphant return

    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.
