Wonderfully engaging, Dr Janina lights the way with superb knowledge and excitement. I’m sure the guests enjoy these sessions as much as I enjoy listening.

I’m so glad this is back after a little break. Janina is so uplifting and of course very knowledgeable. I took a trip to see a cathedral after seeing it enthused by her in a documentary. Thank you.

I have just discovered this fantastic pod cast and am working my way through the episodes from the beginning. The Hogarth one was really enlightening!

Dr Ramirez puts art in its political, cultual and social context with the help of experts in their fields. It is of a high scholarly standard at a level that doesn't exclude the layman who may have no historical background yet are interested in these works of art. The conversation between Dr...Read full review »

Love these podcasts, they’re very interesting and I like how varied they are. I think my favourite might be the recent one about the plague. Please can I request that you write down the names of the piece of art and the artist under each podcast though, as I always have to rewind the podcast to...Read full review »

The history hit network is a very valued addition to my podcast library. This particular one is something a bit different to straight history with the narrative weaving between the person being interviewed, what they do and an artwork. I really enjoyed the Richard Dadd one but then they have all...Read full review »

Dr Janina Ramirez hosts a guest each week and talks about different art works and their background and meaning.

This is close to being an excellent podcast that covers a good range of works across cultures. I think it would benefit from a little more disagreement regarding some of the works or aspects of them. I know it's going for the 'conversational' approach but the interview can be a bit...Read full review »
