    Best podcast ever sad you’re ending.
    Gutted this is your last episode. Was such a mainstay of mine during the hard days of lockdown. I hope you come back on again soon.

    Adore the pod, thank you for melding the well known with the less known pieces of art in each episode. Truly each week is an Adventure!

    Fascinating and fun
    Love love love the combination of art history, witty conversation, interviews and detailed discussions of paintings... I often listen a second time, when I can look at the art being discussed on the website. Waldy and Bendy take me back to favorite museum visits and the fun of my first art history course 42 years ago. Vashon Island, WA

    My favourite art podcast!
    Waldy, as a passionate Renaissance art history student, I had the pleasure of listening to you several years ago, when you made me take another look at Baroque and taught me to see and appreciate this period in a way my art teachers failed to do. I’ve been a die hard fan ever since. I love this show because Waldy and Bendy have insightful comments that provoke thought and debate as discussion, as it should be. You both provide a wonderful balance and perspective that doesn’t bully the listener into agreeing or disagreeing with you, but encourages a person to think deeply about their opinion. Thank you so much for sharing your time with us all!

    UK Art guys talk and laugh!
    Thanks so much for all of your episodes, they really keep me informed and you both bring different perspectives together through mutual appreciation, and both have very diverse shows on the Telly! Love for art through the ages comes through and slaps us all awake! So much humor through the stories and the sometime guests on the show are always interesting! Your fan in California….

    This is podcast I look forward to the most.
    While I follow many podcasts, there are two I can’t wait to hear and never miss. This is one of them. Waldy and Bendy bring it every episode. Witty and personable, they deliver a lot of art history in an entertaining fashion. You feel as if you are sitting in a pub, discussing the magnificent paintings you all just viewed in a major museum. Brilliant. Palm Harbor, FL, USA

    Love me some Bendy and Waldy
    Waldy and Bendy, you have one more listener in the US (New York City to be exact). The duo are a charming contrast in style and personality but are both deeply knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter. A perfect antidote to COVID blues, if not, sadly, for the disease itself.

    Your North Carolina fan
    Hi guys, you’ve got a devoted follower in North Carolina. That’s four now in the US. Your podcast is really entertaining. I look forward to the interplay of your thoughts and ideas. Any chance that you could discuss the work of Vermeer, Caravaggio or William Nicholson in future? Maybe you could think up a dodgy anniversary for one of them. Thanks for the podcast. Please keep making more!

    Two guys and some Art-Perfect
    Wally and Bendy’s exploration of Art, related topics and other ramblings is a perfect way to spend an hour or so. A wonderful opportunity for dives into subjects that are explored with enthusiasm and great intellect-as well as fun to boot.

    Art History brought alive
    It’s so wonderful to listen to two individuals with sometimes opposing views discuss the topic of art throughout history and explain the background of artworks.
  • Mitchy Austin
    Huge fan.
    I am such a huge fan of Waldy. I love his enthusiasm and his generosity to share all of his knowledge. Bendy is a new fav of mine. He’s a drier contrast who is equally wonderful. It’s really helping me through various lockdowns. Thank you both!

    Your Ohio fan
    Could I be the one fan from Ohio you gave a shout out to in Season 2, Episode 2? I’m going to pretend so. Last season was great and this season also. Thanks so much for enlightening us amateur art lovers. I appreciate it!

    Must Listen for Art Lovers
    I’ve been a long time fan of these from their appearances on different broadcasts. Amazing to be able to hear them share their opinions and knowledge while taking walks outside. :)
  • Bill Muller
    Great podcast on art
    Not sure why there aren’t more art podcasts. I love the podcast and relisten to them because I want to learn the accent and lose my Long Island one.
  • hami409
    A must listen
    Their combined knowledge and excitement for the arts makes this a fun and informative listen. Good pairing too. Waldy’s jovial, mischievous delivery goes well with Bendy’s almost parental oversight of the story at hand. Good stuff.
