This week on Spill The Art Tea, Alexandra Beller joins us for five stories that feel like history, science, and the arts got locked in a room together and started improvising.We’re talking about ancient board games as designed cultural objects, whether you could survive on a single food, the emotional crash after intense creative work, the theory that the Oracle of Delphi was literally breathing trance-inducing gas, and NASA’s very practical menu for Artemis II’s trip around the Moon. The episode pulls from recent and archival reporting in Smithsonian Magazine, Popular Science, Hyperallergic, and NASA materials.

This week on Spill The Art Tea, Mark Firehammer joins us for a lineup that feels gloriously unhinged: books with synchronised soundtracks, freelancers fighting for survival, furniture made from shredded bank notes, a Whitney Biennial videogame anyone can play, and a Turner watercolour stepping back into public view after more than two centuries.We’re getting into where art, design, tech, money, and creative burnout all collide — which, frankly, is increasingly every corner of the culture world.Stories this week include:📚🔊 Books plus audio tracks💸😵‍💫 The brutal state of freelance💷🪑 Bank notes turned into furniture🎮🖼️ A Whitney Biennial videogame🌧️🖌️ Turner back on show for the first time since 1799🎧 Listen to the full podcast on your favourite platform🎙️ More episodes at @nuacollectivewww.nuacollective.comLove Art ♥️ Support ArtistsSPILL THE ART TEA: YouTube, Thurs 1900 BST.Learn more about our guest:Mark Firehammer: www.markfirehammer.comRead our latest edition of Anecdotes - OUT NOW!https://nuacollective.ie/anecdotes-nua-art-magazine/

This week on Spill The Art Tea, we’re joined by Seán Óg Ó Murchú and Daragh Drake to unpack five stories that feel like the art world spinning a roulette wheel: • Space mushrooms that went to the ISS… and got eaten on Earth • The Philadelphia Museum of Art reversing its name change • A Michelangelo foot drawing selling for ~$27.2m • AI “restoring” Orson Welles: historic repair or digital overreach? • Britney Spears’ catalog sale and the never-ending gold rush for creative IP🎧 Listen to the full podcast on your favourite platform🎙️ More episodes at @nuacollectivewww.nuacollective.comLove Art ♥️ Support ArtistsSPILL THE ART TEA: YouTube, Thurs 1900 BSTLearn more about our guests:Dlúthpháirtíocht:https://www.instagram.com/dluthphairtiocht_/Seán Óg Ó Murchú:https://linktr.ee/seananseanchaiDaragh Drake:www.daragh-drake.comhttps://www.instagram.com/daraghexists/Read our latest edition of Anecdotes - OUT NOW!https://nuacollective.ie/anecdotes-nua-art-magazine/

This week ShunShun from The Urgency of Art joins us for a brisk tour through culture’s current mess:

- Rome starts charging €2 for close access to the Trevi Fountain (overtourism meets premium viewing). 

- British Museum gets backlash over AI-ish promo imagery and scrambles into “we’re drafting guidelines” mode. 

- UK creators push back with a major report arguing GenAI is already costing livelihoods and demanding CLEAR rules: consent, licensing, ethics, accountability, remuneration. 

- National Trust hits its goal to protect the Cerne Abbas Giant thanks to global donors. 

- Plus: the prehistoric weirdness of Prototaxites — possibly its own extinct branch of life.

This week on Spill The Art Tea, we’re joined by actor, presenter, and podcaster Sorcha Morgan for five stories that prove art is truly everywhere — even in places it probably shouldn’t be.

We’re talking:

🎨 Frida Kahlo getting turned into luxury condo branding

🪨 The oldest rock art ever found — humanity’s first creative flex

🏬 A collective of friends moving into a shopping mall for FOUR YEARS (iconic behaviour)

📺 Super Bowl ads hitting $10 million… advertising as performance art

🤖 AI agents online pretending to be people — the internet gets weirder

It’s art history, culture chaos, and modern absurdity, with Sorcha bringing the perfect mix of sharp insight and good humour.

New episode out Thursday, 1900 BST.

This week on Spill the Art Tea, Poppy Cauchi joins us to unpack a stacked art news cycle — from the sudden cancellation of NFT Paris and what it says about the future of digital art, to Bonhams’ major losses and what that means for working artists.

We also dive into MSCHF’s controversial cow project, Steve Jobs’ early Apple artefacts selling as fine art, and the £1.1bn insurance debate surrounding the Bayeux Tapestry.

Is the art market collapsing — or just growing up?

SPILL THE ART TEA: YouTube, Mon 1900 BST.

This week on Spill the Art Tea, Eamonn and Josh are joined by digital artist VitaliV and MA Gallery director Angelina Cebotari to wade through a week where art got covered up, nicked, censored, harassed, and quietly underfunded.

We’re talking museums hiding nude sculptures, someone stealing Joan of Arc’s sword (bold move), art-world harassment convictions, the slow wobble of public broadcasting, and why dictators historically panic when confronted with abstract painting.

It’s messy, political, occasionally ridiculous — and exactly why art still matters.

Grab a cup. We’ve got tea.
