“But then I realized that it wasn’t. Sincere would also be incorrect. Deeply out of touch, asking mostly the wrong questions, and somehow of the year 2002, in very un-joyful ways. Good luck guys!”

“A must-listen for any artist or collector curious about the self satisfied, soulless, power-worshipping center of the art world. Comes across as parody, but it ain’t.”

“Just when I wonder whether the art market is centred on over indulged white men who name drop about parties, house visits and what coffee they have ordered within their day of nepotistic socialising, I find confirmation within this podcast that, yep, it is. Thanks for the confirmation and for...”Read full review »

“I really want to like this podcast, but they are constantly drooling over Jordan Wolfson, Lucas Zwirner, and Alex Israel. They consistently trash and make fun of female gallerists and women in the art world. I think you guys can do better!”

“These hosts have given in to the dark side. The podcast is a brag/bro fest about schmoozing with power. I used to love Nate Freeman’s take on the late Artsy podcast. I can’t believe how gross his coverage of the art world has become. I understand money is the crux of the contemporary art world,...”Read full review »

“If it’s been said that some people “have faces for radio,” then these guys have “voices for print media.” It grates on the ears like a vocal fried LES brunch. But still…somehow, I can’t wait to hear the next episode.”

“I am just a young artist turned art dealer in the provincial city of Amsterdam and this podcast has been so great for me to realise that I’ll have to do much more than any of the pals in NYC to get a small shine of attention, but maybe I’ll get a cap?
On top of that they do not only show you how...”Read full review »

“consistently New York’s best restaurant podcast. Occasional Kingston, NY restaurant reviews as well.
There are a lot of asides about art - the hosts are oddly well-informed on that topic, and the guests seem interested in it as well, curiously. Worth a listen if you’re into that sort of thing.”

Keep up the good work!”

“What a great find! As an Industrial Designer I pull a lot of my inspiration from the art world. The similarities between the day-to-day function and politics of high end furniture showrooms and art galleries is striking; making the insight (and 🍵) the hosts share a blast.
