Bad at Sports is ambitious in the range of art world folk they dialogue with and thus there are some highs and lows. However, the highs are worth any amount of getting lost in art speak (note: if you are not familiar with the art world this may be a difficult place to start, but you can still...Read full review »

This is one of THE greatest contemporary art podcasts. Great, hour-long interviews with a wide variety of important artworld guests, conducted by personable, amusing hosts like Duncan McKenzie, Richard Holland and Amanda Browder.

Wonderful, from an artist's perspective. Continue your art history education. An essential part of my art week.

This is the only podcast I've found that covers a range of contemporary artists and theorists while using the wonderful casual podcast interview form. With that said, it is hit or miss depending on the guests. The conversations can go face first into an art speak mess and it results in a...Read full review »

I've been following this podcast for several years and my feelings are pretty mixed. Every once in a while they interview a guest/artist who is incredibly pithy or who articulates ideas which transcend art talk, and it is for this reason that I continue to listen with an open mind. However, a...Read full review »

If you have even a fleeting interest in art, contemporary art especially or like to hear thoughtful people drink beer and swear occasionally, subscribe. I have been entertained and genuinely inspired by many of the interviews and every one of them has a gem in it (at the very least there's a good...Read full review »

I don't review podcasts, I'm only doing this out of obligation because you deserve it. A begrudging overwhelmingly positive review, what a day. You guys have nice voices. It'd be interesting for you to interview an artist/curator (who is very sure of themselves) who's work you don't particularly...Read full review »

About half of the time I spend in the studio I am listening to Bad at Sports. Living in the middle of nowhere, it's great to hear art dialogue that is funny, intelligent, and provocative. I can't get it anywhere else. They seem to be a little heavy on the social practice and relational aesthetic...Read full review »

This is a good resource for contemporary art news and interviews. If you are too busy in the studio and don't have time to browse magazines and websites, play this while you're working and you'll feel a bit less guilt and despair for being a shut-in. Oh, and if you're not academically-minded...Read full review »

Bad at Sports is an amazing resource for artists, art students, and any one involved in contemporary art. The interviews are insightful and entertaining, and they cover a broad range of artists from throughout the world. With the volume of past episodes it is hard to recommend any particular...Read full review »

I recommend starting from their first podcast in 2005. I also recommend Amanda Browder's laugh to anyone suffering from chronic depression. B@S is very entertaining, educational and accessible. Other institutional podcasts I've subscribed to are so drearily dull I nearly fall asleep before the...Read full review »

I think they should all e horse whipped. Oh wait, no, I mean I love the show.

This is the only show that discusses art in a way that is entertaining and insightful.
Dave LaMorte via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/11
There's a terrific combination of irreverence and erudition to this show. They get great people and for anyone truly interested in the Fine Art World, it should be a must hear.

I enjoy the chemistry on the show and I actual lern things from the guest they interview.

These folks are true believers and it shows. I have listened to every podcast, this is the stuff cults are made of. Well worth the time invested for anyone interested in the arts. Class A community builders bringing it to you on a regular basis. A real service to the art diaspora.

These guys (and girls) rock! Insightful, funny and contemporary criticisms, interviews and reviews of art. Mostly Chi-town but some NYC and international material too. An excellent listen whilst working in the studio. And some great dumb jokes.

I've been listening to this podcast for two years and can't believe no one else has reviewed it. Bad at Sports is the only podcast that I HATE to miss. Although the focus is on the Chicago art scene, as an artist living in Oakland, Ca I benefit enormously from hearing reports and opinions about...Read full review »
