Hello, listeners! I’ve got a special surprise for you this week. I’m sharing an episode of the fun, all-ages art podcast, Who ARTed. Who ARTed is a show created by an art teacher with the goal of making art history fun and interesting for listeners of any age, so if you're looking for a show that you can enjoy with the kids, Kyle shares fun facts about everything from Mona Lisa to Mario. Today I’m sharing his recent mini-episode about Salvador Dalí, but be sure to check out Who ARTed’s daily mini-episodes this season, which are covering 64 diverse artists in anticipation of their annual Arts Madness Tournament. Listeners can vote for their favorite artworks in a bracketed tournament where every matchup simply asks "Which is better?" This can spark some great conversations about how we evaluate art. You can find Who ARTed: Weekly Art History for All Ages wherever you get your podcasts, or at www.whoartedpodcast.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
