Episode 40: Damien Hirst - A Shark's Tale
**insert Jaws theme song here** A new episode swimminโ straight for you! This one features the classic trio: sharks, death, and formaldehyde. That is to say, it is a deep dive (ha) into Damien Hirstโs The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, AKA The Shark One. Come for facts about optimal methods for shark taxidermy, stay in spite of the bleeped f-bombs.
Please note that this track contains the occasional spot of spicy adult language. Those words have been superficially bleeped, but if listened to on 1.25x or 1.5x speed, the bleeps become ineffective.

Episode 39: The Moai of Rapa Nui
๐๐ฟ ๐๐ฟ๐ The emojis say it all: this episode is a deep dive into the monolithic moai of Rapa Nuiโalso known as Easter Island. Come for the in-depth discussion of how generations of Rapanui (i.e. the people of Rapa Nui) made and moved moai; stay in spite of the bad puns about ๐ volcanoes ๐.

Episode 38: Spirit Photography
As R.L. Stein would say, โSay ๐ง and โ ๏ธ!โ In this episode, itโs more like โThe ๐๐ป say ๐ง!โ This episode explores the strange world of spirit photography, a whacky offshoot of early photography that had its heyday in the 1860s and 1870s. Come for the lite sarcasm regarding Spiritualism, stay in spite of the primordial ooze.

Minisode 7: Early Photography
Ahoy hoy! A new minisode is upon thee: the early history of photography! Come for the history, stay in spite of the science (or vice versa). Episode 38 will follow in about 3 weeks. Until then, your girl is headed on vacation.
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.
Please note that episodes may contain mild language, the occasional innuendo, and a healthy dose of sass.
Happy listening!
