The Visual Art Podcasts on Apple

I'm interested in podcasts about art and artists. I'd love to hear from you - via Facebook or Instagram about the ones you really like - and WHY.

As some of you will know, one of the reasons for my reduced level of blogging is the essential need for me to walk every day for at least an hour. 

  • It's the only way to keep my severe osteoarthritis from getting worse i.e. keep me mobile and prevent me from stiffening up. 
  • I also remember listening to Stephen Fry talk about how he lost weight when he started walking everywhere - and how this was much easier after he discovered audible books and podcasts.
So my audible listening to was triggered by trying to lose weight prior to my ankle surgery - and getting fit for surgery - back in the early 2020s when my daily limit for steps was strictly no more than 3.5k steps if I didn't want to be crippled the next day. Podcast listening then was dictated by how long my walk took me!

Now I aim for at least 5k steps a day and one of the ways I keep walking regularly is to listen to podcasts. I've been known to take the longer route home to make sure I get to the end of the podcast!

Art Podcasts on Apple

I only have Apple devices so all my art podcasts are limited to Apple and the BBC
  • The BBC now ignores art so effectively it's what's on Apple. 
  • I'm not a huge fan of Spotify 
  • but am an Audible subscriber - which doesn't seem to have art podcasts.
  • Some also have a Youtube equivalent where you get the visual version and that means can play through your screens or television.
Here's a taster of what you get if you put "art' into Apple Podcasts Search. 

getting their pics shown when I search for "art"
probably means these are the top ranking art podcasts.

BELOW are some of the podcasts I follow - although I have to emphasise how much I listen to them varies a LOT.
  • Mostly because I always hit latest episodes first - the podcasts which get the most frequent listen are those who produce the most episodes - as in not behind "special subscriber" barriers. 
  • They also have to look interesting to get past the other (more addictive) podcasts I listen to.
The list below is more or less alphabetical (minus "the")
