This podcast enriches my cultural awareness in a unique way. I would say that I wish more podcasts would deliver similar content except that Sara Fishko has produced an output so much better than others as to be a difference of kind not a difference of degree. So it really seems like this podcast is unique by design and so beyond replication. So instead of pleading for others to duplicate Sara’s technique I would instead ask Sara to preserve her vision at all costs. Outstanding work, Sara.

Me too, I love this podcast and I think of it as a walking library of knowledge! So compact and yet so enriching.

I love love love this podcast. Fishko files helps you remember why artists and art are so critical to our culture. I always learn something new. The delivery is so understated, it lets the stars shine brightly.

Always offers new perspectives

This podcast provides 7 minutes of pure intellectual and cultural delight. A restorative alternative to the news.

Graduate level course in seven minutes. This is as close as you can get to absorbing the content of a book by setting it under your pillow. But don’t even blink when listening to this or you will miss the too much of the luxurious lecture.

Intelligent, funny, surprising.

...and curated. Excellent.

Ms Fishko has a voice that is most pleasing, (silky smooth) and every subject she has covered thus far has been so very interesting…Subscribe Now…

So excited to find the podcast

Next time I go MoMA or Metrapolitan, I will enjoy the exhibits more than ever before.

This show is a national treasure. The recent Culture Shock series is testament to that. Thank you Ms. Fishko. Keep it up WNYC. Thanks to the staff, too.

Sarah Fishko knows her stuff, very informative.. How about something from The Harlem Renaissance? Nora Neale Hurston,Langston Hughes

I am excited to find these podcasts available so I can catch up on missed episodes. Invariably fascinating, informative and well thought out. Always leave me wanting more.

I only listen to one of these brief episodes at a time because the content of each is so richly thought provoking that I just need to pause and reflect upon (and frequently explore further) the episode's content. I consider myself fairly knowledgeable in the field of music, yet I am consistently delightfully surprised at the fresh and intriguing insights Sara brings to even widely familiar topics such as Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" and the contributions of conductor/composer Leonard Bernstein. The subject matter concentrates upon, but is not limited to, music, and is interesting regardless of one's prior knowledge of the topic. First rate production and presentation…VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

On music....it just does not get any better than this!!!!

When Sarah Fishko talks about music, it's always interesting and entertaining. These little podcasts invariably leave me wanting more.

Consistently interesting and informative.

Luckily, her medium is radio, which makes the podcast so much more enjoyable than if she worked with acrylics. (little arts joke there) But if Sara Fishko were on NPR nationwide people might soon forget the name Susan Stanberg. Though who doesn't like Susan Stanberg? The radio dial's big enough for Sara and Susan, and if its not maybe Dr. Laura needs to step down. Give Fishko a try, you'll be glad you did.
