Fun and Approachable

The gossip-framing device is silly, but it makes art history approachable. The hosts like to have fun!

Gets me through my own art homework

I am so glad I found this podcast, as an art student myself it’s amazing to hear and learn about artist in a different DRAMA filled way while I paint.

Making me lol and learn 💃

Just getting into art history for the first time, and the more I listen, the more fun it is as I’ve started getting references to all these people and this history when it comes up in other contexts and I feel like such a smarty. Chelsea and Riccelle are a good time and add a lot of helpful commentary that makes me both understand the art/its in the context they existed in at the time and also how I can think about them in more relatable terms of how they might be today. My favorite part is person at the party where they name some bonkers person we have to hear about today to help us understand how silly the artist was back in the day. I’m happy to hear the ads for your patreon and I hope the ladies both get rich from this great podcast! I can’t always tell them apart because they don’t say each others’ names out loud often and I’m bad at distinguishing voices, but that’s only an issue for recognizing them as distinct and valuable individuals and not for understanding what’s going on in the podcast most of the time.
