Afraid of Poetry?

Our first episode on poetry? If you’ve been following Arts First for a while you’ll know we’ve looked at the life and work of William Blake, discussed the Genius of Shakespeare and we had a stab at Homer’s epic the Odyssey, but up to now, we haven’t talked specifically about poetry. I’d been thinki…
Rosie Kay has had an award winning career in dance and choreography. She is the director of her own company K2CO and is in the forefront of the campaign Freedom in the Arts, which she founded with Denise Fahmy, after the experience of being cancelled because of her gender-critical views. We have in…
I really enjoyed this discussion with Nat Edwards, Leeds-based Director General and Master of the Armouries, Ella Nixon, an academic, curator, and writer, specialising in regional art collections and women’s art; and Lawrence Goldman, Executive Editor of History Reclaimed. After I presented the the…

Episode 49 - Tracey Emin

Rather she plumbs the depths of her own experience to create works which are multilayered, shocking, challenging, disturbing and sometimes beau…

David Hockney RIP

David Hockney died on June 12, 2026 at the age of 88. The Arts First team, meeting for a planning session just a few days after he died, decided to do an impromptu appreciation of him on video. Wendy Earle, Niall Crowley, Michael Owens and Rachel Jordan talk about what he meant to them, as a true f…

The Secrets of Painting

In this episode we interview writer, broadcaster and artist, Lachlan Goudie who recently published his remarkable new book — The Secrets of Painting: The Hidden Art of the Masterpiece from Prehistory to Today (Thames & Hudson 2026). Lachlan Goudie is a writer, broadcaster and artist. His previ…
I have long wanted to do an episode on the subject of art education but have found it difficult to decide how to focus a discussion. It’s a huge subject, ranging from teaching school children art, to the work of art schools in the development of artists and designers, to questions about who now get…
