What else to do on the hottest day of the year so far but record a podcast! With a bumper crop of exhibitions, galleries, competitions and fairs to tackle, settle into our second Artfully podcast: Van Gogh in Britain, FOOD at the V & A, Beatrix Potter, Masterpiece, and a trio of women artists at Victoria Miro born out of the meteoric rise of social media profile @thegreatwomenartists. And on that note we discuss the high price artists pay when social media censors nudity in artworks. Finally, this episode's artist focus is on the grande dame of the YBA: Tracey Emin. We discuss why she continues to challenge audiences, Liz shares her own Emin story, and Jessie manages to compare her to Maggie Thatcher. You'll have to listen to find out why....
