Something To Do With Art

What makes artists tick and why is art important?

Something To Do With Art is a podcast that explores and celebrates artistic creativity and experimentation - whether it be falling in love with concrete (BA Zanditon), setting up a call centre in Las Vegas (Gemma Marmalade) or turning your own home into an art centre (Ahmed Farooqui). Each episode is an opportunity to find out more about the creative process and to research alternative ways of making art.
​"This was just about the perfect podcast! I laughed, then I found myself taking notes"
​John Wyatt-Clarke

Review by Yasmine Rix
(extract)
"Art often acts as a gateway into conversations that are nothing to do with artworks themselves; this series does just that. For many, this approach might make a great escape from overtly meta, self-assured rhetoric that can often be associated with the arts. The podcast can appeal to those perhaps looking for inspiration, or perhaps ‘outsiders’ looking in, yearning for a better grasp or even an introduction to the subject or thinking behind it."

The very first exchanges with BA Zanditon, from the first episode. Still one of my favourites. In which Barbara dismisses the possibility that I will interview anyone famous.
