    Great show for artists with minimal fluff
    Ask an Artist is the best art podcast because it delivers useful information and insights for working artists (and those who wish to be) with far less of the fluff and personal TMI of many other art related podcasts. I enjoy the listener question episodes quite a bit. The hosts tackle questions both big and small with equal seriousness and professionalism.

    Perfect
    Smart, funny, interesting. I could go on, but if that doesn’t make you listen, go back to scrolling Facebook.

    What a fantastic podcast. I was quite in a major slump about being an artist, but this podcast has helped pick me back up and got me excited being one once more. There are so many helpful tips and great reminders, I really am so grateful for this podcast. A big thanks to Laura, Peter and Mr. B!

    Practical advice and an enjoyable listen!
    I’ve been binge listening to this podcast this week and it’s great! Extremely practical advice with enjoyable conversation between Laura Boswell and Peter Keegan. One teeny weeny suggestion: I think it would serve you both well to practice not interrupting each other:-). It does make your conversations sound more laid back, but often one of you interrupts the other in the middle of a thought that I wanted to hear fully expressed. I always interrupt others so I really understand how hard a habit it is to break, but I think listeners would really benefit from hearing your fill and helpful thoughts! I look forward to listening to each and every episode in the future! Thank you for all this helpful content!
