About the show

Hi! My name is Lindsay and I host Stuff about Things: An Art History Podcast. It is a podcast where I tell you stuff about things. From giant Buddhas to lost paintings, each episode is a deep dive into a particular work of art, artist, or issue within the world of art history. My goal is to make art history accessible, enjoyable, and fun for anyone with a digital device and a desire to learn! My dog, Gus, also plays a key role as the podcast's muse and mascot. Come for the information, stay in spite of my very bad jokes. 6/18/26 - NEW EPISODE COMING VERY SOON Please note that episodes may contain mild language, vocal acrobatics, the occasional innuendo, and a healthy dose of sass. Happy listening! Interested in contributing to the continued production and maintenance of the podcast? No pressure, just appreciation. https://buymeacoffee.com/stuffaboutthingspodcast
