A true love poem to art

“Abbi Jacobson knocks it out of the park with this approachable art podcast done for WNYC Studios in partnership with MOMA. Fans of Broad City might recognize Jacobson as one of the show’s main characters, whose wit and charm carry over into real life. She’s an art major but it’s clear her talented voice was made for radio. One of the best parts about the show is that it is always so refreshing to hear someone speak about something they clearly adore. For most of us, art can seem intimidating, but this funny down-to-earth pod says art is for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you dislike art or work full time in an art museum, Jacobson makes informative and comprehensive cases for all sorts of it. Her passion for creating a podcast about art that educates while captivates in a way that isn’t pretentious is the sort of attitude the subject needs. The show gives an inside look into MOMA with the help of some of Jacobson’s friends. She brings them along to gauge their reactions to some of the works she discusses. It’s so interesting to hear the different impressions and perspectives. Guests include Hannibal Buress, RuPaul, and Questlove to name a few. Everything they have to say is useful and adds to the presentation unlike what I’ve seen in other shows. I’ll admit I was skeptical on how hearing people talk about art would be with just the audio but this ten-part series is out to prove anyone with the same doubts wrong. While it’s completely possible to enjoy the show without viewing the art, a quick google search gives you so much more to appreciate. For an easy way to make sure you’re looking at the right piece, I recommend checking out the show’s website. Apple Podcasts has 4.8 out of 5 stars, 1,343 ratings, and 278 written reviews. Episodes were about 20 minutes long, commercials were average for the length and music was minimal. You can listen to the episodes out of order with only slight nods to guests from older episodes being the only building information. Owltail can’t generate the most popular for this short series but my favorites were “Samantha Irby Gets High on Light” and “How Questlove Learned to Love Silence.” No trigger warnings for this one. I’m sure it’s obvious by the length of the review that I loved this show. It is definitely in the running for my podcasts of the year. I would give it 10/5 stars if I could.
