Great podcast for artists, not just western artists!

I have happily stumbled upon this podcast thanks to IG and have listened to all of them so far. I really love the relaxed discussions with the artists and how George discusses the entire sphere of being an artists, both the talent side and the business side. After all, being an artist is a business. Looking forward to season 2!

Very, Very interesting in the continuum of detailed questions to bring out the sharing & insights from the artists.
The scope of interviewer’s comprehensive leads into the life, work, background, work hours, mediums, goals and tech inquiries and more, was most interesting to any type art lover or more.
Danika was a delightful sharer of her specific art career journey & her individual path thus far.
I really enjoyed the depth & various specific sharing the host guided so well from the artist.
I look forward to many more of this podcast.
