Welcome to ArtHoles! An art history podcast with someone who knows nothing about art history. Or podcasting, for that matter.
Coming from absolutely no background in art or art history, I decided to reverse the course on my own ignorance. Instead of doing so in moderation, I'm reading a ton of books and articles about each artist and slowly losing my mind in the process.
My buddy Mitch joins me for the first few episodes, then it's just me (Michael) putting artists' personal lives under a microscope to learn about art and art history by weaving in my own takes, ADD-driven side research, music, movies, etc.
This isn't your grandmother's art history podcast. And, if your grandmother has an art history podcast, 1) I'm happy she's still with us and 2) maybe we can collaborate in her dining room filled with her Hummel figurine collection and old WWII pictures of your likely-deceased grandfather.
