    Stuff about Things: An Art History Podcast

    Hi! My name is Lindsay and I host Stuff about Things: An Art History Podcast. It is a podcast where I tell you stuff about things. From giant Buddhas to lost paintings, each episode is a deep dive into a particular work of art, artist, or issue within the world of art history. My goal is to make art history accessible, enjoyable, and fun for anyone with a digital device and a desire to learn! My dog, Gus, also plays a key role as the podcast’s muse and mascot. Come for the information, stay in spite of my very bad jokes.

    6/18/26 – NEW EPISODE COMING VERY SOON

    Please note that episodes may contain mild language, vocal acrobatics, the occasional innuendo, and a healthy dose of sass.

    Happy listening!

    Episode 15: King Tut's Tomb (Part II) Feb 21, 2019
    Show notes

    Cobras, canaries, and curses, oh my! This episode is the second half of a two-part deep dive into the discovery of King Tut's tomb, beginning with the discovery of the tomb in early November of 1922. You also get to hear me gush about my love of the 1999 cinematic masterpiece, The Mummy.

    Episode 14: King Tut's Tomb (Part I) Feb 21, 2019

    A boy pharaoh, a tempestuous archaeologist, and a rich English aristocrat walk into a bar... This episode is part one of a two part episode duology on the discovery of King Tut's tomb by Howard Carter in 1922. Part I covers years 1350 BCE - 1922, from Tutankhamun to telegrams. The story continues in Part II, which covers the discovery and its aftermath.

    Episode 13: The Shroud of Turin Jan 15, 2019
    Show notes

    Episode 13 is a deep dive into a mysterious object indeed: The Shroud of Turin. Listen to a skeptic (me!) work through the history of the shroud, the controversies surrounding it, and the arguments for its authenticity or its forgery. Gospels, arson, rogue restorations, oh my!

    Episode 12: Antoni Gaudí & Barcelona's Sagrada Família Dec 09, 2018
    Show notes

    Episode 12 covers our biggest topic yet: a "madman" and a building 136 years in the making. Listen to learn about Antoni Gaudí, the Sagrada Família, and a pesky little thing called a building permit. There is also an enthralling story about Gus getting stuck in a culvert pipe (spoiler: he's fine). Happy listening!

    Episode 10: Michelangelo's Bruges Madonna Oct 25, 2018
    Show notes

    Episode 10 dives into a work of art that I know better than almost any other: Michelangelo's Bruges Madonna. This gorgeous statue of the Madonna and Child is one of Michelangelo's most beautiful but least known works of art. Why is that? Listen to the episode to find out!

    Episode 8: Caravaggio's Taking of Christ Aug 12, 2018
    Show notes

    Episode 8 takes a deep and dirty dive into the life of the painter Caravaggio and his "lost" painting of the Taking of Christ, a painting that rocked the art history world when it reappeared in 1990 after it had been deemed "missing" for hundreds of years. Artichokes, lizards, and prisons, oh my!

    Episode 7: The Bamiyan Buddhas Jul 24, 2018
    Show notes

    Travel with me to the Bamiyan Valley in Northern Afghanistan to learn about the majestic (majestic!) Bamiyan Buddhas, two colossal statues of the Buddha that were blown up in 2001 because terrorists are dopes.

    Show notes

    Episode 6 delves underneath the city of Naples, Italy, to wander through the Catacombs of San Gaudioso, an underground burial complex with a history that spans over 1,500 years. Frescoes, graves, and skulls, oh my!
