A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve been to see Luna Luna in New York twice now, and I wish I could go see it every day! I was just a kid when Luna Luna happened in Berlin in 1987 but I would have been blown away by it! As soon as I first heard about Luna Luna last year, I was instantly obsessed. An artist myself and a nearly life-long Keith Haring fan, I KNEW I had to go see it in NYC asap. if you haven’t been, GO NOW before it closes in mid-March. I love that this podcast gives you even more in-depth information about Luna Luna and I can’t wait to listen to more episodes as soon as they are available! If you’re even a casual Luna Luna fan, this story is worth listening to and finding out the history of this amazing part of modern art history. Thanks for making this podcast so I can get my weekly fix of Luna Luna goodness!

Super interesting content and story. Like the narration too. Ironic tho- that in the midst of this highly political and anti-fascist story you interrupt with the voice of Donald f-ing Trumphhhh (fart joke intended). The ultimate fascist. Maybe reconsider your sponsors so as not to accidentally traumatize your audience who might think they’re safe in this anti-fascist story. Just a thought.

Such an amazing story! Can’t get enough of Helen Molesworth! Bright, informed, great narrator. Her love of all things art is contagious.
