The Best Podcasts for Art Lovers
Whether we’re walking through Barcelona, driving up the coast or spending time at home, at The Art Büro we really love a good podcast.
Team TAB have been comparing notes and wanted to share with you our favourite informative, fun and thought provoking podcasts right now for learning about all things ART..
talk ART
Talk Art is an internationally acclaimed podcast dedicated to the world of art, hosted by Actor Russell Tovey and gallerist Robert Diament. Featuring exclusive interviews with leading artists, curators & gallerists, and talented guests from other industries like acting, music and journalism.
“We’re just art geeks and we want to talk to other people about it.” Tovey explained to the NY Times last year.
Why We Love It? Talk Art explores all of the different ways that the arts impact our lives and connect us on a daily basis. The conversations feel natural and informal and the hosts’ diverse non-art centric backgrounds make for a super accessible listen.

Art For Your Ear by The Jealous Curator
Hosted by Danielle Krysa AKA The Jealous Curator, Art For Your Ear shares inside-scoop and stories from talented, successful, full-time contemporary artists. The podcast was inspired by Danielle’s time spent studying art history, when her favourite part was uncovering the behind-the-scenes gossip and personal anecdotes of iconic artists.
Why We Love It? You really get a sense of peeking behind the curtain into the life of an artist. At less than 30 mins an episode, it’s also a quick, bite sized podcast to digest over coffee or your morning run, while still being packed with detail and inspiration.
