Art Juice: A podcast for artists, creatives and art lovers

Art Juice ran for six years and 262 episodes, building one of the warmest communities in the art podcasting world before wrapping up in mid-2025. Hosted by UK-based artists Louise Fletcher and Alice Sheridan, the show felt like sitting in a studio with two friends who happen to be thoughtful, experienced painters. They covered layering techniques, mixed media approaches, building email lists, open studio events, and the general emotional chaos of trying to make art while also paying bills. Episodes ran 40 to 65 minutes, long enough to get into real substance but never bloated. The duo format was the show's secret weapon. Louise and Alice had genuinely different perspectives -- different mediums, different business approaches, different creative temperaments -- so their conversations had natural tension and humor. They also brought on guests like muralist Daren Todd and cartoonist Annie Tempest for variety. Listeners consistently praised the show for being "genuinely helpful" without the polished, slightly hollow feel of more corporate art podcasts. The advice was practical and specific: which website platform to use, how to photograph your work, how to price commissions without undervaluing yourself. With 4.8 stars from over 700 ratings, Art Juice earned its reputation honestly. Even though production has ended, the back catalog remains a goldmine. If you are a working artist who wants practical advice delivered with real warmth and zero pretension, start anywhere in the archive and work your way through.
