“Ben delivers an informative, impactful glimpse into the art world. Some art podcasts either stumble with articulation, or dedicate a whole show to belabor a topic that can be summed up in a few sentences. Ben knows his stuff and provides smart commentary when needed, summarizes important art...”Read full review »

His highly informed, unpretentious affability makes him incredibly easy to listen to. The profound respect and affection implicit in his...”Read full review »

“Ben Luke tried valiantly to enable Grada Kilomba, one of four curators of this year’s Sāo Paulo biennial, to say something interesting or insightful about ‘Choreographies of the Impossible’.
She failed. And filled an excruciating amount of airtime with half-baked, clichéd, curator-speak about her...”Read full review »

“Very thoughtful and intelligent news and analysis of what’s going on in the art world. Not overly focused on art as commodity. My favorite segment is their art work of the week, in which the host and a guest go deep on a single piece. Great stuff, and I love Ben Luke’s voice!”

“Thank you for your fascinating and enjoyable podcast. I would rate it 100% perfect if you didn’t have the very annoying music in the background while the host speaks—-does anyone not find that very intrusive and annoying ??”

“I was looking forward to this podcast but although a good effort, it is rather uneven. I don’t much mind the low production values (heaven knows, we’re all suddenly improvising in this medium). Nor do I mind a generally informal tone. But many of the commentators seem uncertain, frequently...”Read full review »
