    Binge Worthy!
    You know it’s a good show when you’re constantly googling images, people and conspiracies.

    Insightful, well done
    Insightful, compelling, and informative. A side of the art world you don’t often hear about. So happy I chanced about this brilliantly well done podcast. Now, I want a place to discuss all these thought provoking topics and try to find commonalities and differences.

    Interesting Topic, nice pacing
    Love this podcast! If you are looking for an investigative, true crime but not gruesome, well produced, documentary style podcast to listen to while doing the dishes, this is a good one.

    Good podcast, misleading title
    From the title and description, one would think this podcast covered “true crime“ in the art world—museum thefts, forgers, recovery of stolen pieces, and the like. And it does, but just barely. The main focus of this podcast is on social justice issues and injustices to underprivileged artists and art from underserved countries. If you’re looking for a “whodunit“ podcast about crime in the art world, this podcast is not for you.

    More great reporting from Ben Lewis
    This podcast is up there with everything else Lewis has written and produced. Impeccably researched and constructed episodes. This is accessible to anyone outside the art world but incredibly knowledgeable and insightful about it as well. I was amazed but not surprised that he got these insiders to go on record, but he does it every time. It’s got suspense and a keen sense of humor. I’m hooked on this.
