Fancy Galleries, Fake Art Podcast

I always enjoy a story about how rich people get scammed and how the FBI has to come in and help them realize that they were getting played . Hearing the investigation details about how the paintings were being replicated worked well in podcast format. I think this story would’ve transferred well to video format as well because the subject revolves around these masterpiece paintings by famous names but I didn’t know the artists by name. Having a visual for this story would’ve made it much easier to understand how good the fakes compared to the originals. This podcast felt almost like a documentary due to how well the audio recordings and interviews were integrated. I could see the inflections in some of the museums workers voices’ when they talked about how crazy the situation was. Making the listener feel like they are able to imagine the conversation occurring through solid audio technique was the biggest takeaway I got from listening to the multi-layered art heist.
