“A good story but NOT done well: repetitive between episodes; overly dramatized; jumps around; too many ads!!”

“Interesting topic, learned things I didn’t know before but feels hypocritical at times. I understand the points the host is trying to make but you can find smarter arguments. Too much publicity, 50:50. Also on season 1 episode 6 two smart women who live or work in NYC don’t know how doorman...”Read full review »

“Emotionally manipulative. I may agree with some of the host’s conclusions but hated the way they were presented. Heavy music, voice actors. Why is true crime entertainment? Is this art? If so, pretentious as all the rest.”

“Interesting, memorable core story (Pollock's career is thanks to the infinitely more talented Lee Krasner, overlooked by the art world even to this day-as many women artists were and still are- and thank you Katy Hessel for focusing on them!) but these 6 episodes are weighed down by over...”Read full review »

“A pastiche I assume of sensationalist true crime reality shows. The problem with satire is that it is difficult to pull off ….. it either has to be subtle or biting, this podcast falls between the two.
Unfortunately in so doing it undermines any sense of a case to answer for Andre and serves to...”Read full review »

“Season 2 is disappointing. I was excited to see a 2nd season after the wonderful 1st season on Ana Mendieta. It’s very superficial surface level, which I guess is to be expected when the time of each episode is about 30% shorter than those of the 1st season.”

“This podcast is significantly more ad than content. I know a lot of people who tried to listen, and I don’t know anyone who subscribed to Pushkin. I wonder if there are zillions and it justifies the format.”

“What a garbage approach to telling a story. A third of the running time is advertising, then add in the preview bits of what you’re about to hear later, and the recapping of where you left off last episode. The actual content of this entire season could have been cut into a single 45min...”Read full review »

“This is good stuff (Jackson Pollock episodes) but come on Pushkin, this is an advertisment generator. This only exists to push ads not a story. And don't give me "we need to make money" this is greed. Example epidsode 4 of Jackson Pollock, in the first 8 minutes there is 2 minutes of...”Read full review »

“She is arrogant and I had to hate listen to this. She had to put politics into a story that should have been a story about what happened the night she died. She wanted to be the story. What a selfish person to make her the story.”

“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 object, however, to obsessively racializing this violence throughout the piece. The narrator comes off as a penitent and self-flagellating...”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 »

“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 »
