Fascinating and unique

I love the way every season of this show is different, funky, and fascinating. Definitely one of the best museum-backed art podcasts. This season’s mixtape was especially thought-provoking and diverse, and wow, that episode on Anselm Kiefer was a beautiful gut-punch. I can’t wait to see those in person again. Thank you, SFMOMA!

Mind-expanding and inspiring!

I really enjoy this podcast, it shows art in the light that goes beyond a gallery wall -- art in life. Art as something we all create and can be a part of. Way on the fringes, living life as art, as a connection to the spiritual and to the Earth. Excellent podcast.
