Customer Reviews
Enjoyable and thoughtful listening for all to spend some time with.
VDH is a very insightful person whom generously shares his talent and wisdom throughout these podcasts. Also like listening to Jack Fowler too! My cup doth flowith over!
Great show but…..
What’s with all the commercial breaks? There seem to be more and more lately.
Art and Architecture
VDH’s interview of Sabin Howard was spectacular. Howard is a fantastic spokesman for his art, for art in general and for art and culture. One thing, however, I must take issue with is VDH’s assertion that the imitation of classical architecture is best for our time. For so long, architects in the West copied Greek and Roman temples and other public buildings. It got to the point where lazy unimaginative architects designed a box, slapped a colonnade on the front and called it monumental architecture. The classical achievement is awesome. The achievement of our time can be awesome as well but different, a reflection of our times.
