On the railroad line on the road to Hell there was a radio-station,
And there were two young women chattering away
And everybody heard and everybody saw
BYWAP! podcastin' again.

It's an old song, it's an old tale. But we sing it anyway.
Today Stephanie is joined by BYWAP's very own Lindsey as we take on Broadway and indulgently bring you the BYWAP take on Hadestown: The Musical by Anais Mitchell.

Join us as Lindsey and Stephanie bring a new level of unhinged to the podcast, contemplate how Greek myths are retold for modern audiences, lament over how good Broadway shows are, and come together over accepting that "His Kiss, the Riot" is the best villain song in the breadth of this lyrical masterpiece.

Episode 90? Good lord.

You know her, you love her, and today we finally talk about: The Ghent Altarpiece, or The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb. This magnificent masterwork is not only Jan Van Eyck's most prolific work of art, but also the world's most steal-able altarpiece. This was such a great episode to make, just wait until your hosts record in front of her live. Check out our website for all the Art Conservation related links that we talked about in this episode!


Join us as we worship the horrific man-face of the lamb of God, discuss the numerology in relation to the Divine, bemoan the treatment of this centuries old painting, and ponder just how magical it would be to stumble into a decommissioned salt mines and found all of these magnificent European masterpieces. Tasty, tasty, tasty!

It's Article Discussion Time! On August 14th, 2023, the New York Times published 'His Name Was Bélizaire': Rare Portrait of Enslaved Child Arrives at the Met. In the month since, there has been a flurry of information and media attention because just how rare this acquisition is. Elene and Steph help break down just how the acquisition came to be where it is now: hanging in the prestigious halls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.





Join us as we struggle with reading comprehension, fangirl about the magic that is art conservation, shake your fist at the New Orleans Museum of Art for the arrogance of bad collection management, and genuinely

That's right folks, it's time to talk about the artist we all love and hate and love to hate! Andy Warhol is a character from a book he wrote about himself, an enigma who's human but also is not but also is? Your hosts have a hard time making up our minds about this Marketer Turned Artist and we express those thoughts very loudly and brashly, as you would expect from us.



So join us as we talk about his best times and his worst times, his prints and his plagiarism, and most of all, the role he played to shape the capitalist art world hellscape that we live in now.
