ArtCurious podcast named one of PC Magazine's best podcasts of 2019, the Oprah Magazine's Best History Podcasts
Podcast listed among some of the biggest shows around, and is one of the top in PC Magazine's "Informative Podcasts" category.



RALEIGH, NC.- The ArtCurious Podcast, an internationally popular, bi-weekly audio show boasting an audience of approximately 30,000 subscribers and hundreds of thousands of downloads, was chosen as one of PC Magazine's Best Podcasts of the Year for the second year in a row. This is a coup for a small, independently produced show, who is now lauded alongside podcast heavyweights like Pod Save America, 99% Invisible, Anna Faris is Unqualified, My Favorite Murder, and many others.

In late August 2019, ArtCurious was similarly heralded on O, the Oprah Magazine's website, as one of the Best History Podcasts of 2019, another big accomplishment for an independent program.

In addition, ArtCurious is celebrating the upcoming launch of its fifth season. From September through December 2019, ArtCurious will release seven new episodes revealing the connections between fine art and true crime, beginning with the rumored assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler by a German artist, and culminating with the eerie connections between surrealist art and the infamous Black Dahlia murder.

"The art world, and art history, most frequently busies itself with notions of beauty," notes podcast host and producer Jennifer Dasal, a modern and contemporary art expert and curator. "However, it sometimes ignores the dark side of human nature, including the often-awful deeds of artists like Caravaggio, a hotheaded Baroque painter who not only was a murderer, but may himself have been murdered. Looking at art in this way opens up a new dimension, and potentially a new appreciation, of its dramatic elements, and a relevancy to today's true crime-obsessed culture."

The ArtCurious Podcast is a show about "the unexpected, the slightly odd, and the strangely wonderful in art history.” Each episode, Dasal delivers a fresh perspective on art history, countering the notion that art and art history are dry or removed from the average person. In a comfortable narrative style, she tackles artists, their known (or even unknown and misunderstood) works and other related subjects in an entertaining, engaging, and educational way comfortable for art lovers and art novices alike.

The ArtCurious Podcast can be downloaded for free via Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, and other major podcast outlets, as well as through the show’s website, www.artcuriouspodcast.com. Further information about each episode, including images discussed in the show, resources for the extra-curious, and more, can be found online. Keep up with the podcast on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
