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 »

Ben Luke is a genius. Completely on top of the art scene, he brings us to the heart of matters and brightly illuminates any subject or artist he addresses. His highly informed, unpretentious affability makes him incredibly easy to listen to. The profound respect and affection implicit in his...Read full review »

"The Week in Art" podcast's episode on Olafur Eliasson's perspective on climate change is a captivating blend of art, environment, and heritage. The discussion around Eliasson's "Ice Watch" serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need for environmental action. The...Read full review »

Mostly 5 stars. Why did you think giving Alia Al-Senussi a platform to obfuscate was a good idea?

Fantastic podcast giving great insight into the current art world. I really like the host and the experts brought in to discuss the various topics.

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 »

As far as art podcasts go, this is the best!
jamaisdelavie via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/25/23
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!

It’s an interesting podcast but mostly for those interested in political and identity oriented art.

I listen every week to catch up on art world happenings. So much goes everywhere. It’s nice to have a lens that focuses on the important issues.

I love this podcast

Thank you to everyone at The Week in Art and The Art Newspaper for this amazing podcast. The topics are fascinating and the interviews are sufficient length that one learns a great deal from each guest. A specific shout-out to the producer or editor who came up with the idea of inserting a...Read full review »

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 ??
trillionshelper via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/21
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 »

Just discovered this podcast starting with the review of 2020. I absolutely loved the conversions about how social issues and politics affect the art world. @schulmanart host of the Inspiration Place podcast

Terrific podcast, excellent themes well explored by an astute presenter.
Recidivist2018 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/01/20
This is a great podcast: reminds me of the depth that Julia Hobsbawm’s podcast Editorial Intelligence reached: this paper and podcast is changing the way we think about news and art: in fact; News As Art! Thanks! Paula

Enjoying this podcast, but wish it also looked outside the US and Europe for its art.
Kkotiro via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 06/09/20
I have a wide range of interests and obsessions but this podcast rates #1. Incisive, passionate, in-depth explorations of issues globally.
anyasaunt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/20
No art podcast is more connected to what’s taking place in the art world today with an emphasis on London and England.
Chadd Scott via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/20
Pod is great, well produced and the host has a knack of asking the right questions.
DanSN117 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/04/20
Love the weekly Podcast but this weeks coverage of the Titian exhibition at the National Gallery was fantastic up there with your Picasso 32 episode . I listened whilst at the show , superb content and always great questions from Ben Luke . Thank You

Great guests, diverse content and commentators who really know their stuff about the art world, from artists to curators, academics to dealers, journalists to museum directors

I really love this, just discovered and I am working my way through the archive. Keep it up and thanks.
maccamcmc via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/16/19
Brilliant podcast that keeps listeners up to date on goings on in the global art world. Very useful resource for scholars of contemporary art, and art historians. Nice long interviews give deep insight, and shorter reports on recent controversies, events, and art market provide up to date info....Read full review »

My favourite podcast. I listen on my commute to work and feel fully up to speed by the time I reach the gallery. Great interviewees!

Recently discovered this cast. Where have you been all my life? I love this cast. Always relevant artworks scoop and expert accounts of wide international art topics. My weekly digest of the art wold. Thank you!
Hans Obitz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/19
Great hosting and interviewing by Ben Luke, whose lucid commentary makes me feel I’m sipping fine wine and having a conversation in front of a painting, instead of driving my car. Interesting topics crossing art history and contemporary, exhibitions and the art market.
SukiyakiPartDeux via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/05/19
Really great podcast and definitely one of my favourite art podcasts available. I recommend the episode of female surrealists-“ don’t call me a woman artist .” I really recommend!
truerwview57 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/02/18
This is a thoroughly interesting and informative programme on Art. It covers Art history and what's going on in the world via the Art scene. The interviews are intelligent from both sides of the microphone. And the programme covers events all around the world, with many points of view. I...Read full review »

Ben Luke is rare among contemporary interviewers, in allowing his guests to respond to questions, without pointlessly interjecting.
karbee via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/14/18
A good insight into the art world and how it works. Also includes good reviews of current art shows. My only criticism is that some features are a bit too long and I would prefer to see this podcast trimmed to 30 mins.
RWJ63 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/14/17
I don't know much about art, but I'm enjoying this podcast. Discussions are clearly aimed at a more expert audience, but together with the notes on the website its a nice way to learn about what's going on in the art world while picking up on some intersting snippits that you...Read full review »
