    Ben Luke is an iconic host
    Ben delivers an informative, impactful glimpse into the art world. Some art podcasts either stumble with articulation, or dedicate a whole show to belabor a topic that can be summed up in a few sentences. Ben knows his stuff and provides smart commentary when needed, summarizes important art news, and has interesting guests.

    Saudi Arabia
    Mostly 5 stars. Why did you think giving Alia Al-Senussi a platform to obfuscate was a good idea?
  • GailJayNYC
    One of my favorite art podcasts
    Very thoughtful and intelligent news and analysis of what’s going on in the art world. Not overly focused on art as commodity. My favorite segment is their art work of the week, in which the host and a guest go deep on a single piece. Great stuff, and I love Ben Luke’s voice!

    Politics and Art
    It’s an interesting podcast but mostly for those interested in political and identity oriented art.

    Great Recap
    I listen every week to catch up on art world happenings. So much goes everywhere. It’s nice to have a lens that focuses on the important issues.

    Almost Perfect
    Thank you for your fascinating and enjoyable podcast. I would rate it 100% perfect if you didn’t have the very annoying music in the background while the host speaks—-does anyone not find that very intrusive and annoying ??

    review
    I was looking forward to this podcast but although a good effort, it is rather uneven. I don’t much mind the low production values (heaven knows, we’re all suddenly improvising in this medium). Nor do I mind a generally informal tone. But many of the commentators seem uncertain, frequently punctuating their remarks with “kind of” and “sort of.” How could the exhibit in Provincetown “sort of” acknowledge the native role in the U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving? It either did or it didn’t! Too much of this kind of thing (including in the 2020 wrap up). It makes me wonder the guests really know what they’re talking about. The first speaker on Thanksgiving did a fine job, however, and could serve as a model to others.

    Top notch
    Just discovered this podcast starting with the review of 2020. I absolutely loved the conversions about how social issues and politics affect the art world. @schulmanart host of the Inspiration Place podcast

    The standard bearer art podcast
    No art podcast is more connected to what’s taking place in the art world today with an emphasis on London and England.
