Leo and Will sit down and chat to Dr Christian Weikop, Senior Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary German Art, History of Art at The University of Edinburgh.

We discuss topics ranging from his earliest memories in Denmark, to his journey gaining his PHD and his current work with Strategy Get Arts. Within all this we got into how Sean Connery used to life model in the Edinburgh College of Art, the impact of the amazing Richard Demarco and whether museums and galleries are functioning as they should in this day and age.

Christian has done work on a number of interesting figures such as Anselm Kiefer, Georg Baselitz, Emil Nolde and Gerhard Richter to name but a few. He has interviewed both Kiefer and Baselitz, and tells us about how and why he ended up in such a role. 

If you are interested in Art, Museums, History, James Bond, Edinburgh and even Odd Bins, there is something for you in this week's episode. 

A huge thanks to Dr Christian Weikop for taking the time to have us in!
