Customer Reviews
It’s pretty cool!
I’ve been a listener for a while now. These women are extremely informative on the topics they discuss, and listening to them talk is like hanging out with good friends talking about art, which is awesome. This podcast not only covers all the art I’m interested in, it also provides a feeling of being a part of a group of friends which is filling a huge void since the pandemic for me. Thank you so much for this!
I have three main issues when it comes to this podcast though. The first is the sound quality. I’ve watched some of the YouTube videos of these episodes, and always see hand-held microphones which produce different levels of loudness depending on how close or far away you are from the mic, and it definitely comes across in the podcast audio where some speakers are louder than others. It makes it difficult to listen to because I’m often turning up volume for some speakers and quickly lowering it when the audio gets too loud. I think even some cheap table top mics or headphones would produce a better, more stable, audio quality than the hand-held ones.
The second issue is it would be really cool if there was more equality in who talks on the podcast. I get the sense that Corrie is the main one who leads the podcast because she is the main one who speaks most of the time. It can sometimes seem as though Corrie is taking most of the spotlight and it would be really nice if there was more time for the four Babes to speak, especially Jen and Ginny who seem less frequent on the podcast than Corrie and Natalie.
Third is horoscopes. I get that you gals are into astrology and witchcraft sort of things, and that’s totally cool. My only wish is for talk about these things to go down a bit because it’s not really relevant to 99% of the art you’re discussing.
Thanks for hearing me out! I know that hearing criticism is always hard, and I only mention these things because I think that it will make the podcast that much better. I’m a huge fan, and these really are only minor issues. Keep up the amazing work!
No meat on the bones
The topics are not well researched- (at time frustratingly so) - the podcast does not listen like history or art history it listen like social chatting - I think it’s a fine social podcast,but not what I’m into and not what feels to be advertised.
Nope
Too much giggling and going around in circles with non relevant chatter
