ArtHoles is both informative and hilarious. Originally I was looking for 20 minute introduction to Jackson Pollock. I stumbled upon ArtHoles and ended up listening to eight or nine hour long segments. Thanks for teaching me so much and keeping a big smile on my face!

Irreverent, hilarious, sensitive and informative, as an established student of art history and an artist, I find Anthony’s perspective refreshing and important. He should be paid millions of dollars to make podcasts “for the rest of us” who may be put off by all the snobby academic lingo and who...Read full review »

Excellent storytelling, super funny, wonderful art descriptions and deep-dives. A total must listen for fans of history and art! The Caravaggio series is excellent! Please do episodes on Artemisia Gentileschi. She is SO worthy of long form and exquisite storytelling.

I just found this podcast and I LOVE it! Great way to learn history 🤍 thank you!

Ok I love this podcast I found it only yesterday and am already 7 episodes deep. I love art history but it does get so dry sometimes in the way it’s usually taught (like most history, actually) but the blend of comedy, educating and great storytelling in this really makes for the perfect delivery.

The immaculate conception does not refer to the conception of Jesus, it is actually the conception of Mary when her mother Anne became pregnant with her. Listening to Caravaggio series. New listener great pod but that fact is my pet peeve

The title says it all. Listen.

Makes history worthwhile, fun to listen to, and fully human. The best podcast I’ve found on history so far! 100% worth a listen with no regrets.

Want to wow your friends at holiday parties? Listen to this podcast and learn crazy stuff about art. People will be amazed at how brilliant you are.
elishabaii via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/21/23
Absolutely best podcast. Super well researched and informative about each artist and the context of their time and life informing their art pieces. Also the stories are kind of bonkers that really show that artists were just really talented but messy people.

Love this show!
taliah z via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/23
I’m an art history major and my friend recommended this to me and wow I love it. Helps with the mundane chores of college life and freaking out my roommates as I randomly start bursting into laughter! Such interesting characters and even after I finish a series I can’t stop thinking about their...Read full review »

I love this podcast and have recommended it to all of my friends. Now all we talk about is Caravaggio and Johnny Testicle.
RoseBuck90 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/26/23
One of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard. Is it ever coming back? It’s been almost a year since the last episode

The Frida series is ~life changing. The research! The vulnerability! The humor! So good. From a painter with many hours of ear time, a heartfelt thank you.

So I’m leaving this review because my neighbor is bugging me for a year to listen to this and after listening to the first episode I am now within a week 20 episodes deep, really good stuff. brilliant, engaging. Really well done
EdwinMcF via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/08/23
I found this podcast in late 2023. I’m consuming the final two episodes made in 2022 as slowly as possible, because I don’t want it all to end. This art history is so thorough and well told, the mispronounced words didn’t even drive me away. I’m hoping the final podcast will have a clue for where...Read full review »

The history, the irreverence, the sass. Only way to learn history and art.
Phattymcphatterson2012 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/23
I cannot begin to explain how much I love this podcast! Michael Anthony has a real talent for storytelling and he definitely knows how to find fascinating stories worth telling. If you love deep dives and rabbit holes, this is the podcast for you!
tjr55567 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/25/23
This podcast is a National Treasure! Informed and informative in spite of Michael Anthony’s claims that he is unqualified. He did his research and mine and possibly yours as well. Where is Michael now? We need him more than ever.
danimal303 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/23
I’m obsessed 🤩 this is so addictive ! The way the stories web out with so much historical context and details about these artists. I’m going back to look at the art with fresh eyes! It’s a wild wild right with the most hilarious commentary ! Omg so good 💯🤩
dmckdim via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/22/23
Please don’t stop making this.
Roundbed via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/23
Your passion for art and the complex artists mixed with a touching vulnerability and a sharp wit makes this the best podcast I’ve ever experienced.
Cfzany via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/10/23
Best art history podcast. Informative, entertaining, warts and all. Really enjoy what you’ve done. Only wish there was more.
Tequila-Mokingbird via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/27/23
The host has a fun way of going over artists’ lifes. yes there is dick jokes and all sorts of bodily fluids but no “white boy with a potcast” talk. The host shows the vulnerable parts of the stories with very deep understanding and kindness. you are going to laugh and cry on this one.
Loco44563 via Apple Podcasts · Poland · 08/19/23
Appreciate the immense amount of work that the host puts in to bring all this information to ArtHoles. Great podcast.
vvvixma_ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/23
I have been going through the show backwards, started with Frida Kahlo, then, Caravaggio, now, Pollock. I tell my friends who know about cocaine and rhinestones, that it’s sort of like that, only for art, and instead of a person who was raised in the culture, and on the stories, told by somebody...Read full review »

This show is witty, entertaining, and factual. I deeply enjoy it as an undergraduate art history student! I appreciate the balance of content and humor!

Thoroughly enjoy listening to this podcast. Michael’s storytelling and personal opinions and insights are just brilliant!
A_Olive27 via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 08/02/23
I love this podcast so much. I’ve listened to Toulouse Letrec, Pollock, and Caravaggio. Michael has become my favorite storyteller. Perfect mix of curiosity, humility, humor, sensitivity, irreverence, cool disasters of stories, art history, actual history, and the sense we are going through it...Read full review »

Just give it a try and you’ll either get hooked like I did or you won’t. Visual artists are a weird breed (I speak from experience). This podcast tells the how’s and why’s in beautiful detail.

When will there be more episodes?! What happened? I signed up for Patreon, and there has been nothing new in months. What happened?! We want answers!!!!!!! This was one of the best podcasts I have listened to.

Only as far as Jackson Pollock so I hope his buddy comes back, but super addictive.

Precisely portioned irreverence & information. Thanks mate

Incredible, erratic, delightful, weird twists and turns, entertaining and informative. Looking forward to more!
Ocullar Allure via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/23
If you appreciate art even just a little and like to laugh from time to time, take a listen! I’m enjoying this podcast sooo much, the host is fantastic with his words and all of the small extra humorous clips he adds in is authentically enjoyable. I’ve learned so much, I don’t want it to end so...Read full review »

This guy has a gift for bringing humor, depth and insight to the most famous artists ever . I have two degrees in art history and have learned SO much from him!

Although the humour is brash and trashy I have to admit it does occasionally make me laugh ; it's also fair to say he does do his research .Read full review »

A really fun, informative deep dive into art. I absolutely love it.
senior squeaky-pants via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/23
Nothing can really consistently hold my interest enough to stick with it except for true crime podcasts, BUT THIS ONE DOES! Funny, interesting, and pretty informative for someone that doesn’t have an art history background. I am hooked. p.s. he captures my thoughts on mannerism perfectly.
betticat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/23
This podcast is amazing. Very interesting, funny, informative. Please bring it back!

I’m another reviewer with a degree in studio arts and art history. This podcast has me utterly transfixed. The humor and humility with which the stories are shared, the incredible deep dives and research around each artist is an absolute phenomena. This is greatness, and now I’m truly aware of...Read full review »
