“Great podcast, and I don’t really know of any others doing work like this in this space. Brad and Kevin bring a passion for art and dedication to thorough research of their subjects, who are the among the leading artists of the past few centuries (all safely dead), some who are well-known, some who remain obscure. Each episode is 3 hour deep dive into the subject’s life and how the circumstances of their lives drove their artistic creativity. Some of the subjects I’d never heard of yet found them incredibly interesting, driving me to engage with their works. Others were very familiar to me, yet new things came out in the podcast that I hadn’t been aware of. I highly recommend this podcast to any devotee of the arts, the way they weave the biographical elements of the artists’ lives in with deep engagement with the works themselves will leave even devoted fans of these artists walking away perhaps with new perspectives. Also well worth the nominal Patreon sub to listen to the “After Dark” episodes that expound on the main episodes.”
