    Very informative
    Great podcast, full of history, tips and interesting subtopics. As someone who is interested in Islamic geometry, I’m so glad there is a podcast like this so I can understand more deeply geometry’s spiritual origins and impacts. And also I love that I can hear interviews of artists whom I follow on Instagram! It really give a deeper insight on who they are, what inspires them.

    The best podcast
    Its the best podcast I hear during driving, painting, and while I'm just sitting observing nature or watching the stars. It really inspires me, opens my mind to new information by just listening and use my ears sense and imagination. This is my favorite podcast channel, Thank you Esraa and keep in meeting artists who inspire us.
