“I’ve listened to all the episodes so far (“linen” is the latest, as of this writing).
I’ve really enjoyed the podcast. It appreciates the art and materials on an aesthetic level, and also — the two are intertwined — their histories. There are some fascinating backstories in here, and they go deep with some stuff.
The episode on CLAY takes us on a journey to Mexico, and we meet a contemporary maker of “búcaros” — clay jars — a tradition that’s been around for hundreds of years.
The episode on JADE talks with several Maori people talking about jade pendants, and they gets into some fascinating stuff about the role of museums, taking care not only of the physical artworks but of the metaphysical properties of the art.
The episode on CEMENT was also super-interesting, and talked among other things about how cement is the material of empires (or colonizers), they pave roads and make buildings as a way of establishing their economic presence and dominance.
The podcast invites us on some very cool journeys. At its best, it makes good use of sound and soundscapes, to put us in the scene.
I like the host and her presenting style. Her voice reflects her curiosity, interest, and how she savors the art and the stories behind it.”

“I so want to like this podcast, but it’s so slow and it often feels as if the narrators are explaining things to a child. But it is easy to follow and has some interesting information.”

“This is a great podcast! Instead of just dryly talking about the collection, this podcast examines the materials used in art making and the sometimes complicated history of those materials. It's also a beautifully sound designed podcast and a pleasure to listen to.”Read full review »
