“Incredibly fascinating bites of art history delivered in a warm, humorous, and empathetic deadpan that sometimes elides the depth of knowledge and experience the host brings to the show every time. Highly recommended and I’d love it if this were a weekly thing!”

“Interesting content, but Gihring tends to over-dramatize and has an annoying voice. Can’t believe a museum staff member would mispronounce “Giverny.””
