In every episode of this podcast we will be referring to numbered pieces as we talk.

EP.8 Samurai Farai
Episode 8 is with Samurai Farai! I've wanted to have him on the pod ever since the very beginning. Join us for an in-depth look at where he came from and where he's going... and what makes him tick. Beware: unfinished artwork, carburetors, perfectionism and how to combat it, Samurai Jack, gun imagery, Basquiat, antimatter. Remember to follow along on instagram @the_art_investor from 1:00:40 where we discuss the pieces! Also in this episode's intro I talk about how and why this podcast was started and the pieces I've bought because of it. In other news, podstatus.com says that we're #2 in South Africa in the visual arts category and #78 in the UK. Who knew.Â

EP.7 Fanie Buys
Episode 7 is with Fanie Buys! Join us for a highly entertaining, honest, and fiendishly irreverent interview about Fanie and his art. Beware: Christmas in July, Angelina Jolie with dreadlocks, Christmas in Ibiza, Lady Diana Spencer, and two warring speech impediments. Â

EP.6 Oda Tungodden
Episode 6 is with Oda Tungodden. We sit down in Oda's studio for a long, in-depth discussion about art and being an artist, and then go on to discuss some of her her pieces, right up to what she's working on now. Prerequisites: Klimt, Delacroix, Humour, Gin (and tonic if you really need it). Around 47:50 we start discussing the pieces. We won't come hunt you down if you skip straight to them, but be sure to open up our Instagram @the_art_investor and follow along with the numbered pieces as we chat through them.

EP.5 Michael Beckurts
Episode 5 is with Michael Beckurts. We recorded this episode in The Test Kitchen surrounded by some of Michael’s pieces that are currently on show there. Join us for an in-depth exploration of Mike’s background and work. Beware: the expressionist bug, crocodile cramps, the test kitchen work ethic, and tangents. As with every episode, the second section is where the artist brings 5 to 10 pieces to talk us through. This happens at 29:50 mins in this episode and the idea is that you leave the discussion playing in the background and follow along on Instagram @the_art_investor with the numbered pieces. Or else if you’d prefer, there always a slideshow on YouTube. Â
The Art Investor Podcast hosts emerging SA artists over long-form in-person chats about their lives, influences, and 5 to 10 pieces they bring to the table to discuss, with top-notch audio quality, a couple drinks and (usually) hilarious consequences. Beware: horn-rimmed glasses, the creative process, an artful peppering of swear words, tangents. The idea, is that you follow along @the_art_investor on Instagram at your own pace as we discuss the pieces. The works are numbered, and as we talk we'll keep you abreast of which we are currently on. Elsewise if you'd prefer sitting upright, there is a YouTube slideshow (with audio) for every episode. See you in the comments!
