I just met Ponders at a panel he was on at Podcast Movement and was intrigued at the concept. I listened to the episode on Night and was blown away. Incredibly immersive, intimate, with gorgeous writing and highly technical sound design. Can’t wait to listen to the rest!

I’m always learning something new from this podcast. Can’t wait for Season 2 which is going to give us a cross-country look at museums while exploring the theme of “Home.”

Accession is a lovely, warm invitation into the art world. Excellent sound design and editing. The host is enthusiastic and engaging. A must for anyone who loves art, or who wants to but hasn’t because it seems too elitist

T.H. Ponders makes studying art enjoyable. If you’ve never taken an interest in art or art history, or find it to be a bore, listening to his podcasts makes you completely rethink that outlook. Ponders has a passion for art that emanates through his recordings. Take a listen and you’ll see why...Read full review »

Every episode gets me to think more critically about the art discussed and has broadened my horizons to new types of art. Excellent podcast!

If you enjoyed the The Memory Palace MET residency pieces you’ll love this podcast. If you enjoy watching Sister Wendy you’ll love this podcast. Even if you have no idea what I’m talking about (The Memory Palace or Sister Wendy) I’m sure you’ll love this podcast. Every episode is a beautiful...Read full review »

I’ve really enjoyed listening to this podcast. I always thought I didn’t like Shakespeare, but this pod had convinced me that I was wrong. Can’t wait for the next episode!

This show is wonderful. It’s got a great concept. You get a little bit of art history, some personal journals, and several little tidbits of human connection that weave in and out of the pleasant descriptions of various paintings. Plus, the music is also both appropriate and soothing for the...Read full review »

Accession helped me understand art and how little details can change the meaning of an entire piece. I was able to find deeper meaning in these pieces through this podcast. A podcast not to miss out on.

This podcast is incredible and he has an amazing voice!

The adventurous nature of this show hooked me from the beginning. It's fun, creative, and the concept rules. Especially the idea that I could actually GO to one of the places! I probably won't, but looking at the art pre / during the episode is a great way to supplment the audio.Read full review »

This podcast created a bridge between my soul and art!

Pour yourself into a snifter of brandy and follow TH Ponders down gleaming museum halls. So relaxing! So informative! This podcast gives me the deep feeling of contentment I get when I visit places like the Sackler or the Phillips. The host has a great voice, an admirable commitment to sound...Read full review »

Accidentally bumped into this phenomenal podcast and listened to “Mysterious Smile”. The composition of the interwoven elements of history, narrative storytelling, and visual description put you directly in front of the piece and submerse you in its storyline. This podcast was created for...Read full review »

Do you like art? Do you like deep thought & good editing? Do you like people with good podcasting voices? Congrats, this is the show for you! It's kinda like if 99% Invisible fell in love with an art museum, but better. Legit if you haven't listened to this podcast you should....Read full review »

A very pleasurable listen, he’s got a great podcast voice and really insightful commentary. Keep going!

I’m so glad to have found this podcast. T. H. Ponders can paint a picture simply with words. I believe if I had no visual reference, his intuitive, immersive explanations would be enough.
weirdo-beardo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/18
From the outset, Accession has been an essential addition to the Art History canon of podcasts, but T.H. isn't content to just be that it appears. Episode 5 has made clear that an adventurous, twinkling, deeply romantic soul is steering the ship, to where I (and maybe he) know not. But...Read full review »

T.H. Ponders is your personal docent and art instructor. Taking a look at art in ways that you might never think of otherwise. He makes art fun!
Pkriso via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/18
Accession is a great weekly podcast, in which I thoroughly enjoy listening to T.H. take us through each story of the art pieces he picks, plus interweaving storytelling and imagination as well. A great listen and fun experience!

Accession is a smart and entertaining podcast that prevents the average art museum visitor from feeling overwhelmed and as though the art is “out of their league.” This podcast makes visual art more inviting and highlights the power of historical context and storytelling beautifully.
