Future artists 9The bestI’ve only listened to one episode and I’m in love I like how it has shorter episodes.
-
Lani G fanExceptionalThis is one of the best podcasts, full of interesting information that makes me want more. Absolutely great work!
-
artenthusiast21Excellent, engaging art history podcastLove this podcast! The host does a great job of giving historical context, talking about the life of the artist, and vividly describing works of art. The mood is upbeat and conversational while also being sophisticated. A real joy to listen to, whether you’re an art history aficionado or someone new to art appreciation.
-
PictrolaGreat Title, Great PodcastFresh and thorough, an amazing resource for artists and art educators. This podcast has taught me so much about artists I am not familiar with, and artists that I thought I knew. The content and delivery are appropriate all grade levels and would be great to play in the classroom alongside lessons about these artists. Top notch.
-
straightlesbiLove the podcastI’ve been looking for a podcast like this for a while! Art history mixed with interesting facts delivered by a relaxing voice. I love all the new things I learn and the art pieces that are chosen. I enjoy listening so much that I wish they episodes were even longer. Looking forward to more episodes.

jackson waffleinteresting subject matter - blowhard hostas interesting as the subject matter is the blowhard host makes it all about himself it’s as if he is trying to show the world how educated on art history he is rather than trying to educate the audience which would make sense looking at his bio - the guy doesn’t have any art history credentials the last straw for me was his episode on berthe morisot which had promise since he had an art history student on - up until he talked over her the entire time in what can only be interpreted as an attempt to get validation from her fine for a private conversation but frustrating to listen to

Elementary art frenzyGreat way to start/end your work dayKyle wood and I seem to be having a daily conversation in my car as I listen to his podcast and say out loud things like “really! I didn’t know that or think of it that way!” Great glimpses into artwork and a different style of narration that’s fresh and interesting. I’ve found myself. Ive found than once referencing the work, themes, points about the art or artists in my teaching throughout the day. Thanks for this podcast that has become a great start to my day!

jenjen716Love it. But slightly inaccurateI love that he is making art history more accessible, but there is an inaccuracy in the Raphael episode, he comments that the pope asked for Greek gods to be painted… and commented why he didn’t know why a pope would want the Greek pantheon painted - in kind of a snarky way. Which actually totally shows a lack of knowledge in the period of which speaking. The Greek gods were portrayed during the renaissance for a couple of reasons which include allegory, humanism, and syncretism. And I totally get that they’re trying to make this accessible to the masses… and those topics aren’t exactly easy to distill in less than 11 minutes. But the sentiment is incorrect and misleading. And as an art historian affects his credibility with me.

New to Art HistoryCuriosityThis entire podcast tweaks my curiosity for all things art. Thanks Kyle Woods.

DebikayoGreat art history podcast!Kyle does a really good job of discussing the various artists and artworks on his podcast. It is well researched, interesting and enjoyable to listen too. As an art teacher, I can appreciate how he goes a little deeper than a wiki search, adding a lot of color and variety to his information. So good!

Hero brainstomA great listen to learn!I am not a particularly “artsy” person, but I love learning about the beauty of the world. I love this podcast because Kyle explores all types of art - not just the traditional. It’s a great listen for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge!
