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

10/10 dulcet tones

Gripping story? Yes Faultless investigation? Yes Dulcet tones? YES My only complaint is that there aren’t more episodes.
‘Facts’ should be checked

Interesting story, but Andy is clearly a chancer so his claims, and so called facts, should have been more thoroughly checked. For example, the rave was not the biggest mass arrest in uk history - try researching New Age Traveller arrests, over 400 at the Battle of the Beanfield in 1985 and 270 on the A36 near Hanging Langford in 1986 for example. It’s a ripping yarn, but the podcaster has got too close to his subject.
Brilliant

What a fantastic podcast- I began by hating Andy but finished by somewhat admiring him. It really puts Banksy/art world in a different light to the “cool guy”I’ve always perceived. Great research and great interviews!
Boredom in six episodes
27/06/2023
Gosh, he drags on. He could have wrap the entire thing up in one episode but manages to stretch it through six, 30mins each. Most of the podcast is essentially gossip and narration. Also, who hurt you? You really sound like you’ve got a grudge against Banksy; at no point we have a chance to hear the other side of the story. Even if Pest Control didn’t reply there are plenty of ways to contact Banksy or people who work with him. And all the “posh with a southern English accent” thing… OOF so old and outdated. Wasted time, all of it.
