Not actually an art podcast. This is Great Works, the podcast where we answer the burning question: what is the single greatest work of our time? Bowie or Back to the Future? Picasso or Pac-man? Seneca or The Simpsons? There’s only one rule - if you can make a case for it, we’ll talk about it. Hosted by Jess (@jm8on) and Tey (@tey247). Episodes every other Thursday.

    10. Buttons and Nubbins (the original iPhone)

    "An iPod. A phone. And an internet communicator.....are you getting it?" - Steve Jobs, 2007 In the season one finale of Great Works we test how far you can push the definition of art and where the line exists between great art and great design. Tey and Steve present their argument for why the original iPhone deserves to be considered a great work of art and we take a closer look at the world before and after smart phones. Content warning - this episode may contain nubbins and buttons and twiddlysticks. Art of the Week: This episode's segment was absolutely jam packed with stuff and all of it was very accessible - no need for links, just take a listen starting 1:16:14

    Welcome to the podcast, take a look around! In episode nine, we are delighted to be joined by our guest Becky Woof as she guides us through Bo Burnham's genius dark comedy special - INSIDE. Some (us) would argue this was the greatest work of art in 2021, but can it compete with the big boys?
