いらっしゃいませ, Irasshaimase, WELCOME to our HOKUSAI epic-sode! We FUCKING LOVE this guy and are so excited to share his life story with YOU ALL. Our most beloved friends and listeners. This one has it all... ghost stories, fellatio performing squid, and more! Come join us as we go through the long life of our dear Hokusai. There will be sake, there will be badly pronounced Japanese words, and there will be SYPHILIS! As always with love...The Baroque B*tches***DISCLAIMER*** This episode does contain stories of violence. Please be mindful when and where and with whom you listen, and please if these themes are at all triggering for you skip this one, take care of yourself, and know that we LOVE YOU! <3

Ever feel like the hallowed halls of art history could use a bit more gossip and a lot less pretension? That’s exactly the space Baroque B*tches-An Art History Gossip Podcast occupies. Hosted by the Baroque Bs, this series operates on a deliciously simple premise: the art is high brow, but the tea is decidedly low brow. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair with friends who are just as passionate about the stunning works as they are about the scandalous, juicy drama that swirled around the artists who made them. This isn't a dry lecture; it's a lively, accessible conversation that reminds everyone that these iconic figures were complex, messy, and fascinating people. You’ll hear deep dives into the personal lives and professional rivalries of your favorite painters and sculptors, all served with a side of steeping hot tea. The tone is light, engaging, and intentionally welcoming, breaking down barriers to make art history feel immediate and wildly entertaining. New episodes arrive every Wednesday, offering a regular dose of learning and laughter. By focusing on the stories behind the masterpieces, this podcast connects the dots between the canvas and the very human impulses that created it. It’s a celebration of art’s enduring power, told through the lens of the gossip that, in many ways, shaped its course.
