Welcome back to Art Histories, the podcast! This show marks 75% of the way through the series and nobody finds that thought more terrifying than Olivia. We're not saying we've saved the best guests 'till last (that would be unfair), but rest assured you'll want to keep tuning in as we hurtle towards the finale of Series 1. Your continued support is so appreciated!
Art Histories aims to provide a raw, intimate study of the power of the arts by inviting one guest on a week to talk about three pieces of art that have moulded them or shaped the course of their lives.
For Episode 6 Olivia meets Mother Hen and all-round-wonder Jennie Wellerd, who sends her across the galaxies, to heaven and hell, with a bumpy crash-land on Earth somewhere in-between for the show - she gets cosy with David Tennant as The Doctor for the Russell T Davies era of 'Doctor Who' (tough job, but someone's got to do it), listens to symphonies in New York and is moved by the tale of 'August Rush', and returns to a decidedly less benevolent DT (joined by Michael Sheen) as mischievous demon Crowley in Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's 'Good Omens'. There's chats about the world of cosplay, and how it proves transformative for self-confidence and fostering community, the touching thought that music can be found in the most mundane of everyday life, and how you can write your life into a symphony with the right attitude, and both Jennie and Olivia concede that you can't have Good without at least a little bit of Bad (and it's more fun that way). Jennie is such a warm and soothing presence and the world of fandom has been well and truly scoured in this episode. Enjoy!
