This is such an interesting, engaging, entertaining and insightful podcast for people interested in art and Australian art in particular. As an artist though, working away in isolation as so many do, it has been an invaluable, heartening, encouraging and instructive resource. Maria does an amazing job - asking really relevant and personal questions which give us a peek into the myriad different ways in which each artist approaches their art, their process and their life. I often listen as I work and really feel as though I'm there in the room with them, having a conversation with friends. Maria's warm and engaging interview style allows her subjects to open up and share their tips and tricks. It's the knowledge that even the best and most well-know artists have, and still do, struggle with the same doubts, insecurities and issues as the rest of us that is so encouraging. It's a very human show. Thanks, Maria!
