This is a really great series, focused on all the nerdy nuts and bolts of trying to have a career as an artist. But from a host who has a sense of humor and deep industry knowledge.

While Paddy’s podcast is always informative, I want to say, having just been diagnosed with breast cancer, the cancer episode was especially timely and supportive. Best take away quote, “Mychart is now my new social media.” Recommend this podcast and episode.

Mostly what this seems to be about. The directness and honesty are good, but if residencies are not your jam it gets tiresome. A broader scope would be helpful.

Just listened to several episodes and learned so much about residencies, grants, the benefits of networking just within these episodes. Really appreciate what Paddy is doing with Netvvrk.

This podcast is really good! I’m impressed by the level of helpful, knowledgeable advice offered. Paddy really understands the problems so many artists face, and addresses them with clarity and confidence. Thank you Paddy!

Even after years as an artist in the NY art world and now in Austin, I thought I knew how to navigate this messy business. But Paddy has insight I didn't even know I was missing, with clear, practical advice for taking a step-by-step problem solving approach. Seriously, it's uplifting to listen to these. Not like homework or someone telling you to do the stuff you intentionally procrastinate.

Just listened to the new Episode, and then started listening from the very beginning. Just finished Episode 4, and now I’m definitely hooked. Paddy, you got me! I’m a mid- career art making junkie, no formal training, no silver spoon, quickly going broke, over-qualified to get a real job -and they can’t afford me anyway! :-) (I think those were your words!). Thanks for wanting to make a contribution. I hope it helps, but even if it doesn’t, I think it’ll be fun! I’m a fan! Allan

I don’t know how she does it but, once again, Paddy’s podcast made me feel better about an issue that is currently vexing me.

Paddy’s voice/personality/guidance is a breath of fresh air! She always has fantastic advice and experiences to share. Tremendously worthwhile stuff. Thanks for what you do, Paddy!

Paddy Johnson and guests give great advice on this art business focused show. They get to the meat and potatoes of what it takes to build your art practice. I highly recommend it!

I enjoy Paddy’s cut-to-the-chase approach to her thoughts and researched facts on approaching your art career, and her suggestions are clear and actionable. Also, I like the theme music, and I do the robot and dance each time a new episode starts.

I’ve worked with Paddy one on one in years past on applicants, presentation, website edits and will still go to her should I need advice. She’s the real thing. Professional, knowledgeable, straightforward, and a genuinely nice person, caring and committed. It’s nice to now have her insights and knowledge in these bit-size pieces.

This podcast is a fabulous resource. Paddy is extremely knowledgable and savvy about the art world and the challenges of mid-career artists, and offers insightful analysis & advice with kindness & humor. I've learned much valuable info from every episode & appreciate Paddy's transparency. Don't miss it!

Paddy shares years of experience and up-to-date investigations into the net-workings of the art world. She advocates for artists with practical and actionable things we can all do to be more connected to our audiences and each other!

I’ve listened to every one of the podcasts so far and have found so much information packed in each one. Highly recommend for committed artists! I plan on listening to them all at least one more time!

Love this podcast! The host is candid and funny and always brings the relatable real talk. Subscribe/follow if you’re an artist!

Fantastic info., insightful and compassionately presented.

Paddy is very generous with her information. Each podcast approaches one specific topic and she delves into it in great length. It is all very useful for mid career artists, who often feel a little stuck, and may need a bit of expert advice in making specific moves. The length of the pods is perfect, too. And she responds to questions on instagram!

This is a great podcast. Paddy Johnson is one of the few (maybe only) artists’ coaches I’ve found who offers sound professional insight with a holistic approach to the mental, emotional and creative challenges mid-career artists experience. Her programming always leaves me informed and uplifted.

Thank you Paddy for all of this insightful information to help navigate the Wild Wild West of the art world. Every episode has an “ahaaaa” moment.

This is real. Its relevant. Its accessible and non judgmental. Ive gotten so much out of her programs.

OK I’m adding onto my review! The latest episode about public art commissions is so dense and helpful ! I’ve been daunted about how to approach this. Looking forward to more. This podcast is for mid career artists. People who have worked hard to learn the medium. Paddy is a straight shooter, articulate and knowledgeable. I just signed up for a (paid) small works challenge and I can see that it is not designed for someone at my level. Already jazzed to hear more.

Thank you Paddy and Hannah for the real talk regarding money and all the psychological issues around it. I love the idea of setting up the bookkeeping chore as a lovely experience… I gotta put that into action.

Found Paddy through Netvvrk. Have benefited immensely from her resources and that community. This podcast is definitely worth a listen!! The episode on money with Hannah Cole especially resonated with me. Thank you Paddy for the work you are doing for all of us.

Clear, straight forward analysis of the art world

This podcast is helpful and refreshingly no nonsense. Love the shorter format too, this is a nice alternative/compliment to the lengthy artist interview format podcasts out there.

Appreciative of the candid and open conversations happening here. On the waitlist for the mentorship as well. One small criticism is that I couldn’t find podcast episode notes on the website when I went there. Could have been user error on my part. Excited to see where this podcast goes.

Thanks Paddy, That was great. I so appreciate your optimism and generosity while lifting the curtain to reveal the inner workings of the art world. Great episode

Love how Paddy is committed to taking about how the art world works. Excellent conversations!

Paddy Johnson is a genius. For so long, artists have been struggling, thinking we had to do it all alone. Paddy has created a truly democratic and pragmatic approach for artists to navigate a career in the art world. If you are a mid career artist looking for guidance, don’t miss this podcast.

Paddy is tuned into the art world and is such a valuable resource for finding your way. Glad this podcast exist! Ty!

Not many people have enough high-level experience or perspective to diagnose art problems the way Paddy Johnson does. Insights, perspective, and solutions for mid-career artists in the current-moment. Critical listening for artists to stay current and gain career momentum.

Paddy Johnson has been a name in the art world for decades thru her blog Art F City so she has a wealth of wisdom to share. I was so impressed with how well she articulated so much of what I’ve been thinking about for the past couple years. I really look forward to having her be a trusted guide in upcoming episodes.

This podcast makes me feel sane! Listen up artists. You will love it. Thanks Paddy!

The first few episodes have been great - classic Paddy - a great sense of humor, warm, and engaging, but full of of smart bits of info and wisdom that are very useful. This is a great podcast for any artist wanting to engage in some professional changes - be they small modifications of big shifts. Subscribe and learn!

Great and insightful show for artists

I really appreciate the openness and willing to share networking ideas. Love the brevity as well. Looking forward to seeing how the podcast develops and the guest and round tables that will take place. 👌🏾🙏🏾

Looking forward to seeing where this podcast goes. Thanks for making it! My only feedback would be to use different intro music, I thought my headphones were glitching in a bad way.
