Customer Reviews
Wow! I love this podcast.
I started listening to this podcast and before I even finished the first episode I had already shared it with 5 friends. I learned so much in just that one episode. I love art but never had the opportunity to do an art history class so I’m excited to learn more from this podcast.
These two make art interesting
These ladies do a great job at making art interesting for those of us who aren’t really art fanatics. They pick cool, unusual and entertaining arts and art to discuss. If my art history class in college was this interesting, I probably would have stayed awake.
