    An Excellent authentic journey that asks beautiful questions without preaching to know all answers
    I adore this podcast for its clarity of mission and its genuine warmth. As an artist, I deeply appreciate its inclusivity and the way it welcomes all perspectives with open arms. The intimacy and authenticity in the storytelling resonate profoundly with me—qualities I often crave in the art world, where the critical curatorial journey can sometimes feel alienating, even to those it claims to embrace. Having dedicated my entire life to making art across countless mediums, I’ve often felt like an outsider. Yet, this podcast invites me in. It feels like a wolf’s cry, calling me home, and for that, I am profoundly grateful. Leopoldo leopoldo Goût

    Interesting conversations
    I’m not an expert on art by any means. I listened to the episode with Lauren Haynes and loved hearing her take on what it’s like to work in museums, work with artists, and hear how art can have such a personal connection to people’s lives. So interesting!

    Peace of art
    Heidi is a smart lady. I love the way she handle the interviews even with nasty artists she is elegant and positive. Her podcasts are work of art in their way. 👏❤️
  • Rachel, aka P. Marin
    Art matters. And so do the people talking about it.
    This podcast is completely lovely. Thank you, Heidi, for honoring that part of us that is putting pen to paper or brush to canvas with the hopes of making visible our magic. Your conversation reminds me how important this work is. Fondly, Rachel aka P. Marin

    very sketchy audio!
    Only listened to the Jerry Garcia (Olson-Kundig) but the host's audio recording was so terrible and in &out/spotty that I have to assume she doesn't listen to her own podcast for quality control or she doesn't have the means to buy good recording equipement. WHile on Jerry Garcia's end his sound was clear and pure! Unprofessional is the only word to describe the one podcast I have listen to so far. Not sure if it's worth anymore of my time...

    Fantastic Conversations about Art!
    These interviews are insightful and inspiring! Congratulations Heidi! I can’t wait to listen to all of them. Thank you for putting this together.

    Welcome back to California
    I have listened to 4 podcasts and each is so engaging. You really make room for your guest to be heard and ask such intelligent questions. I also appreciate how you share your own thoughts and often have previous relationships with your guests. I especially liked the Allison Glenn talk and think that the exhibition in Memphis looks extraordinary from the photos I see online. Love how you art professionals are taking the lead in inclusivity, contacting Theaster, working with him in Chicago, Breanna’s mother as the main stakeholder for this show. Using her words for the title. I also appreciate how you seemed to carefully bring up that art does not have to bear the weight of the world on its shoulders. Thank you for that. I’m looking forward to the 2nd Tuesday. Highest regards, Ann Weber

    Unexpectedly Desired
    Tech giants, financial gurus, disease specialists - my daily diet of media consumption. Honestly after years of the same old same I felt there had to be something else out there to break up the monotony. Heidi’s conversations gave me two things I have desperately been looking for. First, the conversations diverged from the day to day exploring art and the personal lives of real people. Second, the cast of characters here is so profoundly special that simply no one else could muster such a group. I wasn’t looking for this podcast, but I’m glad I found it. Unexpectedly desired.
