Take the Money and Run

Customer Reviews
amazing show
i came from betty’s youtube and really love the interaction of the hosts and that they are very clear on how they feel but still give a great history or context for the topic of the episode. always a great discussion combined with the topic and explaining why they are talking about it. i am going back through the archive and really enjoying it and cannot wait to
share with my art teacher colleagues (i teach high school math and special ed)
Fun show with personable hosts
Pictorial is unlike the shows I typically listen to but Quinn and Betty are a delight and do a great job exploring the topics they present.
As someone from the art establishment:
There is a way to talk about art, and a way not to talk about art. THIS IS NOT IT. There are certain methods taught to art historians to visually analyze art, to encourage others to continue the dialogue and promote understanding of art in the past, present and the future. I am so glad the hosts love art; please leave the talking about it to those who know what they are doing.
Also, way too many ums, likes, and hums and haas in the background. Super disturbing.
