Art Grind Podcast

Art Grind has four hosts -- Dina Brodsky, Marshall Jones, Sophia Kayafas, and Tun Myaing -- and the rotating cast keeps things from ever feeling stale across 117 episodes. The premise is simple: talk to artists about what they actually do and how they survive doing it. But the execution goes deeper than most interview shows because the hosts themselves are working artists who ask the questions that matter. Recent guests include forensic artist Joe Mullins, art advisor Marina Press Granger talking about finances, TikTok artist Nicola Russell (who has 922,000 followers), portrait painter Konstantin Rudnichenko, author Bianca Bosker, and Bruce Dorfman, who has been teaching since 1964. That range -- from social media natives to painters with six decades of experience -- is what makes Art Grind special. Episodes run about an hour to an hour and a half, released twice a month. The conversations tackle subjects that other art podcasts tiptoe around: how much money artists actually make, the role of social media algorithms in building a career, and what the gallery system looks like from the inside. The four-host structure means different episodes have different energy depending on who is conducting the interview, which keeps the archive from blending together. Rated 4.6 stars from 163 reviews. It is not the most polished production in the world, but the content is consistently substantive and the guest list reads like a who's-who of contemporary visual art practice.
