The podcast is hosted by art historians Regina Nekhaeva and Yulia Karpenkova. Girls tell very simply and easily how different phenomena of life — for example, power or love — are reflected in the works of great masters. The presenters also analyze the works of famous artists like Van Gogh, Frida, Rembrandt, Matisse, Dali and Bosch, as well as the myths with which they are surrounded.
Talk About Art is not only a podcast, but also an educational project that cooperates with museums and holds events.

Podcast by Maria Eidelman, who seeks to overcome the stereotype that art is only for art critics. The author loves museums and believes that the most valuable thing in them is not the exhibits, but the stories that, along with the old objects, fell under the glass.
For example, Maria tells why the Moscow rich of the XIX–XX centuries ordered mostly practical dishes from jewelers, and the St. Petersburg elite needed things not just useful, but refined and refined — like products made of fine "lace". You will also find out what ails the paintings and who treats them, why museums hide a significant part of their fund from visitors and where valuable exhibits come from in general.

An audio show about contemporary art, its representatives and the main examples. The author and presenter Ksenia Puzikova did not accidentally choose such a name. His story is connected with the French artist Marcel Duchamp, who once ran into a plumbing store, bought a urinal and signed it "Fountain". That is, Duchamp considered art not a specific object, but an idea embedded in it. The author of the podcast fully agrees with the artist and introduces listeners to the world of modern art using similar examples. If you want to know how many Salvadors there were in the Dali family, this is the audio show for you.
