Adore this pod
Delightful and intellectually stimulating. I usually listen twice: the first time with my sister, to enjoy the twists and turns of the artist’s life and the narrative of the crime. Then, a second time on my own, so that I can pay attention and commit to memory the wealth of fascinating facts and insights packed into every episode. Would-be listeners should also know that the podcast covers a variety of “arts”: painting, poetry, playwriting, acting, music, etc. Embedded within each entertaining artist profile are smart observations about the art itself. On my second listen, I always go to the website to see the accompanying images and/or sound clips. Lots of podcasters nowadays waste your hour by going back and forth between chit-chat about their personal lives and paraphrases of wikipedia. This is 100% expertly researched content, 100% of the time, delivered in a lively and accessible way. It deserves all the thumbs up!

More reviews of The Art of Crime
Even for history that I know quite a bit about, Gavin comes up with fresh material (as in,I haven’t heard it before), that is well researched, entertaining and just the right length. It’s my new favorite podcast

Intelligent, intriguing, with lots to say about art and artists of the past. Normally, I do not like true crime. But this more about the ideas and the historical story-telling than the crime element. The podcast is obviously deeply researched. It covers so many different places, time periods
