“A murder mystery set within a substantive analysis of art world dynamics. Be prepared to go for a paid subscription because the frequent, loud, and intrusive ads will annoy the heck out if you and detract from an otherwise high quality experience.”

“I had not known about Ana Mendieta. The podcast is compelling and important for bringing to light millennia-old universal violence against women by men. I object, however, to obsessively racializing this violence throughout the piece. The narrator comes off as a penitent and self-flagellating...”Read full review »

“The amount of ads is very distracting. You can barely follow the story. Half of the episodes are another story/ad. Why is that?”

“Helen Molesworth is the perfect narrator for this true story. She is also considerate and defines all the art “lingo”. Thank you for making this podcast to tell Ana Mandieta’s story and what it means in the larger picture.”

This story unfolds in a honest, riveting way and I appreciate how the host is able to acknowledge her own struggle and part she played in...”Read full review »

“I first came across Ana Mendieta in my early 20s and I was so inspired by her work. However, I didn’t know the circumstances around her death or that her husband has been suspected of murdering her. That makes me angry! I think when the podcast explores on whether we can separate the art from the...”Read full review »

“What a disservice to the artist and her memory to conduct this podcast through the lens of critical theory. It’s pretentious, tedious, nasty and vengeful. The host could not be more unlikeable.”

“I’m in the Arts and have a fair general knowledge of Art History, but not an academic one. What does it mean to say that André solved the problem of Art’s relationship to the floor? Is it about reclaiming the “low” space, as a metaphor for upturning traditional social hierarchies? I think...”Read full review »

“A fascinating story and a very convincing philosophical appeal for a more holistic view of artists and their work and the acceptance of complexity in interpretation. Equally damning of cancel culture and the art world’s separation of an artist’s life and their work.”

“This is a good podcast overall , but it’s not a true crime podcast, it’s a political diatribe. To be fair , the narrator does attempt to give voice to ideologies she doesn’t agree with. The issue is that zero time is given to Carls case, its one ling opinion piece by the narrator.”
