@bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social @januszczak.bsky.social Listened to the latest podcast episode on the way to work & thought 'Clearly Bacchus is in danger of a T-Rex attack, how have they not realised that?' Then I clocked the still carafe wine & realised you're pros & must've ruled that out already.

When the world looks dark we can rely on Waldy to put things into perspective.

I'm not sure about cheerful but I'm confident this will be an interesting watch

Really enjoyable 1st episode of the revived Waldy & Bendy podcast/video, and I especially loved the discussion of Bendy's choice for the "On the Wall" feature - a curious painting by Zoffany, loaded with meaning.
The whole episode's on youtube!

Waldemar visits Bourges Cathedral
During a summer road trip, Waldemar @januszczak.bsky.social could not resist popping into Bourges Cathedral to get a look at its fantastic stained glass windows.

In the Sunday Times today I write about the glorious Georges de la Tour show in Paris. Frankly, thé art is irresistible. Definitely worth a weekend hitch hike! #WaldyInParis #GeorgesDeLaTour #SundayTimes #today

Forget the Wuthering Heights! There’s stuff going on in my new series for Sky Arts that would make Heathcliff’s hair fall out! As Margot Robbie said: ‘Waldemar showed us the cliff. The rest of us must follow him over it’.
- Set the controls for Sept 30!

Violence - it’s swirling about us with fresh vigour. But it’s always been there. And art has always been around to record it. That’s the subject of the 2nd film in my new series on Sky Arts. I love Kenneth Clark’s ‘Civilisation’ but it did avoid huge slabs of crucial territory.

Looking forward to this, Waldemar! I look forward to being repulsed and horrified - while simultaneously delighted by your commentary.

Violence. It’s today’s big subject. I’ve been making a film about it. And yes - Charlie Kirk gets mentioned. I am, of course, thinking of violence in art. Such an important subject.
