This is the perfect podcast in terms of being accessible to someone like me while also not being “dumbed down” — every guest is deeply knowledgeable and (more...”Read full review »

“Full of admiration for Benjamin Miller’s 3-part series on the antebellum painting of the Frey children and Belizaire, an enslaved boy included in the initial painting but painted over at some point later on. This series is a detective story, an examination of dark history and our response to the...”Read full review »

“One of my favorite podcasts. You’d think an audio podcast talking about physical objects wouldn’t work, but in the hands of this researcher the story flows and the descriptions are enough to maintain interest. There are always links to find actually photos but you don’t need them. A great variety...”Read full review »

“As has been commented, I loved all the offshoots from the object in question - learning bits of trivial (and less so) history, small details about the item, and (in this episode, at least) some really good advice about buying antiques.
But, I most enjoyed that Ben Miller has the ability to play...”Read full review »
