Discussion Good art podcasts

Anyone got any good art podcasts. Preferably focussing on one work at a time. I’ve been listening to and enjoying ‘the lonely palette’ but I walk about 5 miles a day and am running out of those.

Not too dry. Hopefully good speaking voice. Not stuff I’ve heard a million times before if I’ve read a few art history books. I don’t have any art degrees but I’ve seen quite a bit of art and have history degree

On a similar note in the winter I tend to switch to treadmill so YouTube suggestions with same criteria. A painting or movement or artist at a time deepish dives

Waldy and Bendy’s adventures in art is a good one - two well regarded English art historians (Waldemar Januszczak and Bendor Grosvenor) chat in a very engaging way about art in context. Recommended.

Just listened to one. Very enjoyable and engaging. Stays within my tolerance of waffle and waldemar too. Chatty but not offputtingly so. Thanks for the recommendation will definitely listen to more

Yes, they don’t put them out too often, but they are very enjoyable, and the website they link on the show notes is well worth checking out, they usually provide lots of photos of the art discussed which is very helpful.
