Very Insightful

Really enjoy each interview…the conversational style is relaxed and the questions are intelligent and super interesting. Each artist soon “warms up” and, in very little time, they are really engaged in the conversation. Great to listen to and full of very insightful information.

Great interviewer!

Nishant is such a great interviewer. Great listening for artists, especially urban sketchers.

Fascinating look at urban sketching

I've just listened to the Feb. 12 "looking back" episode and can't wait for time to listen to the rest. Excellent interviews. Fascinating artists who all approach their urban sketching in unique ways. Thanks, Nishant!
