Hello!
We've have been seriously influenced this week. Not by anything on social media but by all the amazing sculpture, ancient and modern that we've been seeing around Greece. Consequently, we will be focusing on Greek sculpture. We know that there are beautiful and important sculpting traditions in many cultures and we wish we could cover them all but that wasn't possible in a roughly 20 minute podcast.
Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a review where ever you listen. It's the best way to support the show.
