COMEDY
There aren’t many people who can say that they’ve had a Banksy statue in their back garden, but Andy Link is one of them. In 2004, he kidnapped one of Banksy’s pieces of art in broad daylight from the middle of central London, and held it to ransom. The fact that someone would kidnap a Banksy statue is pretty absurd already, but the story of why it happened, how the statue vanished again after it was kidnapped, and how it was mysteriously put up for auction over 10 years later is even wilder. It all comes down to 1 man, and a 2 decade long vendetta. The story will take us on a journey through UK’s most subversive sub-cultures: from art heists and art terrorists, to 80s football hooliganism, the 90s illegal rave scene, even fetish parties. While all the while, we try to track down one of the most elusive anonymous artists in the world. All to discover…who robs a Banksy?? From Podimo and Message Heard

Really interesting but…

It’s essentially a pale, male and stale academic talking about interesting things, but with an unwillingness to talk about how it affects people who are not old white men. I felt sorry for the co-host who was constantly trying to introduce who other groups do things, but she was always brushed off. It is a real shame that a Social Scientist had no idea about the societies outside of his existence. Such a missed opportunity.
The best podcast!

I love Richard Wiseman’s On Your Mind. Listening to Richard and Marnie talking in the Are you a Blurter? episode was a bit like a conversation between my brain and my mind, with one difference - it was funny! Keep up the good work and Happy Christmas
Really immersive podcast
