With guests like RuPaul, Tavi Gevinson and Questlove, Jacobson hosts lively and provocative conversations sadly, for us listeners, the podcast was just one season, ringing in at a spry 10-episodes. – Discover Pods Staff Instead, A Piece of Work is about creativity and the creative industry more broadly. Don’t expect too much textbook history though. For the podcast, Jacobson tackles all the questions you have about Modern and contemporary art but were too shy to ask.

Each season takes on a different concept, like rivalries, and unwraps the dramatic stories behind the paintings you’re probably familiar with. Like Decomposed, ArtCurious tells the story behind works of arts–here, largely paintings–in a way that emphasizes the wild lives the artists lived. Like a great museum exhibition, she skillfully weaves a narrative, and before you know it, you’ll be peppering your conversation with terms like chiaroscuro or sfumato. – Discover Pods StaffĪrtCurious is somewhere between an art history podcast and a celebrity tabloid.

Don’t be fooled by the cha thought Desal’s bona fides are well-established: she has spent over two decades working as a curator of Modern and contemporary art. She tracks down the juiciest gossip in her hopes to discover if Walter Sickert really was Jack the Ripper or that the Mona Lisa is actually a fake. Each episode focuses on a single artist or work of art, that Desal then packs full of salacious tidbits and jaw-dropping tales.

Actually, it is for all of us, as host Jennifer Desal wants to make art history funny and accessible, for both fanatics and novices alike. If your interest in art history is more Page Six than college lecture, then ArtCurious is for you.
