Biased towards figure painters. John does great interviews, but he generally doesn’t look beyond figure painters.

My favourite podcast! I love listening to John's laidback Dublin accent (so familiar -reminds me of so many friends' accents!) and his chuckles, as he interviews (more a meandering philosophical chat!) amazing artists from the wilds of Kerry! Love it!! It's laugh- out-loud listening-...Read full review »

He asks them good questions and digs into the things we want to know. Excellent choice of guests

Gently Does It is the greatest source for interviews of contemporary painters. John’s conversational approach and listener-generated questions make for spectacularly down to earth conversations on the technique, concept, and business of painting in the 21st century. Whether by design or...Read full review »

So many art podcasts I try to listen to because an artist I follow and aspire to live up to just don’t hit the mark. They talk in circles about nothing; I don’t even know where the conversation begins and one what premise or if questions have even been asked. Plus, the artists in all their...Read full review »

I just found this artist a couple of weeks ago … her paintings are wonderful.. I saw her post on Instagram about this great interview , I just had to look it up….I loved every minute and all the better fit being uncut! I felt like I really got to know the artist John’s Irish accent is easy to...Read full review »

Could have been nicer to your guest COLLEEN. You sounded so bored and told Her you were nodding off during her interview. So rude

Every one of these is unique. Can’t wait to get into the earlier stuff I’ve missed, having just discovered John’s wonderful podcast a few weeks ago.

Pilat - her painting is terrific. She’s entitled to her own opinions and inspirations - however the fact that she finds the misanthrope Ayn Rand a “hero” kinda ends it there for me.

Brilliant
krishnatimhoweth via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/18/21
This podcast is essential for any artist, no matter what medium you specialize in. Informative and easy to listen to, Easy Does It lets us into the minds of today’s greatest artists.

This is my absolute favourite art podcast, hands down! John’s unique and gently interviewing style results in the most wonderful conversations that are both intimate and easy going.

Really like these 'uncut' versions much much better. Thank youRead full review »

John “effortlessly” lays every thought and like the great Master, all feels (improbably) right . The guess, each one more selfless than the next. And the new Uncut gems , confirmed 400 years later how much better is to be first in crudeness than second in fines.
Iart1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/20
So brilliant I took notes! It’s so comforting to hear the creative process detailed in confirmation with my personal experience. As a creativity coach I help clients get comfortable playing in the space of possibility before their desired outcome is reached. This episode gave me some excellent...Read full review »

I have only listened to one episode and am already hooked! I love the format and the information conveyed. What excellent insight to the art, artist, process, and business.
MariaRoseWimmer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/19
Truly one of the best art/painting podcasts out there. (Trust me I have looked.) This wonderful show hosts a slew of prolific artists as they give thoughtful advice and creative insight on their careers as painters. Most of the artists are figurative oil painters. But there are quite a few other...Read full review »

Enjoyed the pod but the non stop pushy sales has stopped me listening.
crimecatt via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/08/18
To me, as an artist, John’s podcast is a quintessential resource for information and community. His guests are those at the top of the representational art world. And the conversation is intelligent and leisurely. I highly recommend this podcast.
Gemma Di Grazia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/18
Hands down the best Art podcast out there. John’s laid back style, understanding of painting and ability to converse with ANY artist/personality makes this a joy to listen to. Subscribe- you won’t regret it. - Dan Zollinger artist

great show!

John is a brilliant interviewer. The podcast features a diverse mix of guests, most of whom are accomplished artists. Always entertaining!

I have to say to this is my favourite podcast out there. Wonderful interviews by John Dalton with some of the worlds best figurative artists out there. He has a warm easy going manner, and has a talent for drawing out some really wonderful stories, insights and compelling conversation from his...Read full review »

John not only gets the top talent in the art world on his show, he does a wonderful job with his interviews. I listen while working in my own studio and truly enjoy everytime someone new is on. There is always something new to learn from his guests. I highly recommend his program. Keep up the...Read full review »

I've been recommending this podcast to lots of budding artists back in the UK. When my sister went to art school in Bristol not too long ago, she was advised that painting was dead, or at least in a terminal state. John Dalton's podcasts celebrate the fact that the craft of painting is,...Read full review »

I had the privilege of viewing Alex's works in a NYC art gallery. I loved all that were on view! I also met Alex and his lovely wife and daughter. Your questions were knowledgeable and insightful. Alex's answers were thoughtful and inspiring. 5Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Read full review »

mazinger7000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/21/16
This is the best art related podcast on the web. John Dalton has had a number of careers before art, one of which was as a therapist. As a result he is an amazing interviewer. Artists interviewed on this programme frequently exclaim, near the end of the programme, that they cannot believe what he...Read full review »

Love the interviews with contemporary artists who are successful at their craft. Mix of aesthetics, philiosphy, religion, biography, and pratical advice. Brilliant!
JRLART via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/16
As an Artist myself, there is a lot of solitude when painting. So I listen to books and podcasts to add a little spark to my day; I love listening to John Dalton's podcasts of Artist interviews. It is an opportunity to "visit" with other Artists out there and find out what they're...Read full review »

I am thrilled with this podcast for the interesting content about mostly artists and what makes them tick, but really its more than that too. John is an excellent interviewer, with his eclectic life interests and talents he brings so much depth to the ways in which the stories unfold. This...Read full review »

Not only has John got a mind full of interesting philosophical thoughts to share, but he is highly entertaining to listen to. I especially enjoyed episode number 12 - The cosmic Joke.

Really enjoyed this episode. Brilliant podcast. Keep them coming.

Very refreshing and insightful. These podcast have opened up a whole new sense of spirituality for me. I very much look forward to the next episode.
Kazziedal via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 12/16/13
Finally an enlightened recording that does not start off with spa music... John's perspective on life makes me think and smile, which makes it both interesting and entertaining. If you don't know any of his work, this podcast is a great way to dive in his reality.Read full review »

I first became aware of John through his books "Why do we get sick? Why do we get better?" and "Maya Noise". This podcast is a great continuation of a lot of the themes raised in his books. It's thought provoking, enjoyable and John makes the subjects he speaks about easy to...Read full review »
