Customer Reviews
Delightful!
I absolutely adore this podcast! Nothing is more satisfying than searching past all the highly produced and sponsored podcasts to find gems like this. This show is like listening to your old friends talk about art. Just enough banter, just enough intellectual. Perfectly unpretentious. Absolutely enjoyed the Lady of Shalott episode. I must’ve stared at that painting for an hour now-I too initially couldn’t stand the painting, but now I love it! That is what great entertainment should do. Thanks for opening my eyes, I look forward to listening more.
Whaaaa?
I gave this a try because I was excited. But these two clearly don’t know art history, are not artists, and should pick another subject entirely.
Pass!
