The Great Women Artists

Katy Hessel curates an Instagram account of the same name, and has done since 2015. The London-based Art Historian and Curator celebrates women artists in her podcast too. Often overlooked compared to the male artist, we can learn a lot about artists we may be less familiar with, as Katy looks to address the gender-gap at the heart of Art History.

Penguin is one of the largest publishers in the world, and has an amazing array of authors on its books. In this podcast authors of all kinds share details of their own creative and writing processes.
