  • The Forger Who Made the Nazis Look Stupid

    The Forger Who Made the Nazis Look Stupid
    Jul 3 2026
    In the 1930s and 40s, Han van Meegeren sold fake Vermeers — yes, more Vermeer — to the most dangerous collectors in Europe, including Hermann Göring, and nearly went to prison for collaboration until he revealed the whole thing was a con. The story of how one bitter, overlooked painter weaponized the art world's own snobbery against itself, and why the line between forgery and genius is a lot blurrier than museums want you to think.

  • Vermeer Didn't Exist (Kind Of)

    Vermeer Didn't Exist (Kind Of)
    Jul 2 2026
    Johannes Vermeer is one of the most beloved painters in history — except almost nobody knew who he was for 200 years after his death. This episode tells the stranger-than-fiction story of how a 19th-century French critic essentially invented Vermeer's reputation from scratch, why the art world was embarrassingly happy to believe him, and what it means that one of our 'timeless masters' was basically a marketing project.

  • The Painting That Started a War (No, Really)

    The Painting That Started a War (No, Really)
    Jun 20 2026
    In 1863, the French art establishment didn't just reject Édouard Manet's 'Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe' — they convulsed. But the scandal wasn't really about a naked woman in a park; it was about who gets to decide what counts as art, and what happens when one painting exposes that the gatekeepers have no actual clothes on. This is the story of the Salon des Refusés, the emperor who accidentally ignited modernism, and why the most important art show in history was one that almost didn't happen.
