Baroque B*tches - An Art History Gossip Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is officially my favorite podcast. These ladies are fun, knowledgeable and hilarious! As a woman with an art degree around the same age as the hosts, I feel like I’m chatting up art with a couple of my friends (can we be friends?!). Framing the podcast around gossipy details about each artist is genius. You really learn a different side that makes you understand the why behind their art. You aren’t going to find this anywhere else. Someone sponsor these ladies and help them quit their day jobs. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to every week or so! <3

This podcast is sooo good!! Chelsea and Raquel are awesome and they always do such a good job of making the stories fun and interesting.I love feeling smart cause I know stuff about art history. it’s made museums way more interesting cause I have some basic knowledge about art. I’m a middle schooler and I don’t like history so thank you Chelsea and Raquel for making a fun way to learn about art history. :)

I am so glad I found this podcast, as an art student myself it’s amazing to hear and learn about artist in a different DRAMA filled way while I paint.

I looooove the content and tone of this podcast. Get to know artists as people and not just mythic figures. My only complaint: the first 6 minutes of every episode is just personal banter.

i had high hopes for this podcast- safe to say i was disappointed. the hosts have the most annoying stereotypical valley girl accents imaginable. like it almost sounds satirical. if you like listening to mindless babbling for the first 20 minutes of your podcasts than this is the show for you. they constantly bring up how they live in california and how many art galleries they go to. if you’re looking to actually learn about art and art history, this is not the podcast you want.

I love the concept sooooo much and I could even get into the vibe but in a podcast that talks about a gender bending queer icon artist, you shouldn’t refer to all women as having vaginas. Easy mistake to make for cis people (I’ve done it too) but you obviously want to attract a diverse audience so you should make them feel safe. Also the podcast was an hour long and the topic was discussed for maybe 25 min. Hard to get into an a new listener.
