| 5/1/26 |  Excuse Me, Sophie Tea | In this episode of The Excuse Me Podcast, Erin-Atlanta Argun is joined by Sophie Tea, a contemporary artist, community builder, master-marketer, and expert charity shop rummager. Since 2014, Sophie has been on a mission to celebrate diverse female bodies and make women feel just a little bit nicer about themselves. Entering the art world without a degree or contacts, she faced rejection from every gallery she applied to, and responded by building a cult social media following that has since taken her from going viral at a festival in 2017 to opening her own galleries in London and Sydney. Sophie and Erin explore building an art business on your own terms, the power of inclusive community, and why doing things differently might just be the smartest strategy of all.

| 4/14/26 |  Excuse Me, Richard Williamson | Erin-Atlanta Argun is joined by artist, art advisor, and social media sensation Richard Williamson, known to his online following as McKay Williamson.Richard has been sharing his perspective on art via Instagram and TikTok since 2022, building an audience of over 380,000 people drawn to his ability to make the art world feel accessible and alive. His recurring series "Is this art?" has become a fan favourite, using his framework of three Ns (Novelty, Nuance, and Narrative) to interrogate whether a given work truly earns that title.Beyond his platforms, Richard is the founder of McKay Williamson, a London-based art gallery and creative advisory. He is also a practising artist himself, making work rooted in the deeply personal, guided by a belief that the stories behind art are what make people truly cherish it, and that art is absolutely vital to human joy.Erin first encountered Richard at London Art Fair, where she popped the Excuse Me question, and his answer in that moment was a signed Banksy, Love Is In The Air.Across the conversation, Erin and Richard explore what it means to connect with art on a personal level, the role of storytelling in how we value and collect, and the works that have left a lasting mark on Richard himself. And of course, he shares his five dream artworks and the stories behind each one, which you'll discover in this episode.Season 2, Episode 2 of the Excuse Me podcast by MyArtBroker. | — | |
| 3/6/26 |  Excuse Me, Katy Hessel | In the first episode of Season 2, Erin-Atlanta Argun is joined by art historian and author Katy Hessel, who has made it her life’s work to champion women artists.Many listeners will know Katy from her Instagram account and podcast, The Great Women Artists, which she launched in 2015 after visiting an art fair in London and realising that not a single woman artist was being exhibited Since then, she has transformed that frustration with the male-centric infrastructure of the art world into a daily practice of storytelling – foregrounding the artists too often omitted from the canon.Katy’s first book, The Story of Art Without Men, became a defining entrypoint for readers looking for a fuller, fairer history of art. She has now released an adaptation of this book, The Story of Art Without Men: An Illustrated Guide to Amazing Women, which is out now. Designed for younger readers, teachers, and anyone building confidence in how to look at and engage with art.Across the conversation, Erin and Katy talk about what it means to “own” art. Katy reflects on taking children through museums and classrooms to understand what holds their attention, and how visual culture shapes the way we come to understand the world. And, of course, she answers the Excuse Me question, sharing her five dream artworks and the stories behind them… which you’ll uncover in this episode.Season 2, Episode 1 of the Excuse Me podcast by MyArtBroker. | — | |
| 12/15/25 |  Excuse Me, Alayo Akinkugbe | In this episode of Excuse Me, Erin is joined by Alayo Akinkugbe, independent writer, curator, and founder of A Black History of Art - the platform reshaping how Black artists, sitters, curators, and thinkers are represented across art history.Founded in 2020, A Black History of Art combines powerful imagery with accessible, thoughtful commentary, making art history easier to engage with while challenging the long-standing erasure of Black narratives. The platform now reaches over 67,000 followers and has expanded into A Shared Gaze, Alayo’s podcast featuring conversations with Black contemporary artists about their lives and work.The conversation centres on Alayo’s debut book, Reframing Blackness: What’s Black About “History of Art”? Through five incisive chapters, the book explores how Blackness has been positioned within Western art history, from museums and academic curricula to feminism, muses, and exhibitions. Alayo discusses the lasting impact of institutional neglect and why it’s vital that cultural organisations, schools, and universities learn from the errors of the past.This episode is especially personal, as Erin and Alayo studied art history together at Cambridge University, where the Eurocentric framework of the course is a key point of reflection in the book. Together, they discuss reframing art history, institutional responsibility, and the emotional and political weight of visibility.Excuse Me is a podcast by MyArtBroker, exploring art, culture, and the stories behind the images that shape how we see the world.Season 1, Episode 4 | — | |
| 12/8/25 |  Excuse Me, Charles Moriarty | In this episode, Erin sits down with photographer Charles Moriarty, whose intimate images have shaped some of the most recognisable moments in contemporary culture. Born in Dublin and drawn to London at eighteen, Charles quickly found himself behind the camera in the music industry, where in 2003 he photographed the iconic cover for Amy Winehouse’s debut album Frank. The portrait, tender and quietly electric, captures not just an artist at the beginning of her ascent, but the genuine friendship at the heart of their connection.Since then, Charles’ work has spanned institutions and publications including TATE, VICE, DIESEL, Highsnobiety, and Phoenix Magazine. He has published three deeply personal photographic books: Before Frank, a tribute to Amy and the trust they shared; X, a decade-long exploration of masculinity through portraiture; and Brock, his forthcoming release documenting four formative years with actor and bodybuilder Brock Yurich.This year also marks the launch of The Decisive Moment, the podcast he co-hosts with Carrie Kania of Iconic Images Gallery, where the pair explore the ever-evolving, multi-faceted world of photography.Charles appeared on our social series last year, choosing a Francis Bacon, so we are especially excited to see what he brings to the table today. In this conversation, he reflects on the images that have shaped him, the stories behind his most intimate portraits, and the emotional weight a photograph can hold. Thoughtful, open, and rich with the visual sensitivity that defines his work, this episode offers a rare window into the mind of an artist who sees people with extraordinary clarity.Season 1, episode 3 of the Excuse Me podcast by MyArtBroker. | — | |
| 12/1/25 |  Excuse Me, Verity Babbs | This week, Erin sits down with Verity Babbs, the art historian, comedian and presenter whose signature mix of sharp insight and absolute silliness has made her one of the most inviting voices in the art world. Verity has just released her new book, The History of Art in One Sentence, born from her viral social series where she answers big art-history questions in small, funny, brilliantly clear bursts.In this episode, Verity talks through the five artworks she would dream of owning, revealing the stories, relationships and personal memories that sit behind each choice. From the glowing theatricality of Holman Hunt’s The Light of the World at Keble College (complete with its iconic chapel light-switch moment), to the sensual, intertwined lives of the Bloomsbury Group captured in Duncan Grant’s Bathers by the Pond, her picks are as much about people as they are about painting .She also shares her love of Alfred Wallis and the purity of his late-in-life paintings, shaped by her time filming in St Ives, before jumping into the rebellious joy of spotting Invader mosaics in cities around the world. And, in true Verity fashion, her final choice takes us to the potteries of Stoke-on-Trent, where a humble Spode Christmas sample plate becomes a story about craft, community, pride and a designer who had never actually seen a Christmas tree before attempting to draw one .Across the conversation, Verity reflects on humour as a way into art, the intimidating culture around “knowing enough”, the soft-boy energy of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, charity-shop treasure hunts, and what it really means to own an artwork in the first place.Warm, witty and full of brilliant art-historical side quests, this is a joyful episode that captures exactly why people love Verity’s voice.The second episode of the Excuse Me podcast by MyArtBroker.See more here: https://www.myartbroker.com/articles/excuse-me | — | |
| 11/24/25 |  Excuse Me, Alan Read | In our very first episode, Erin-Atlanta Argun sits down with Professor Alan Read, whose unforgettable street interview outside Somerset House became one of the most loved moments in the Excuse Me series. Alan is the first Chair of Theatre at King’s College London, a writer, broadcaster, and lifelong champion of the arts, and his original response to our question captured the imagination of more than three million viewers.In this conversation, Alan opens up about the five artworks he would dream of owning and why. He talks about the power of looking, the responsibility of putting things on walls, and the role art plays in shaping who we become. From his deep affection for Chaim Soutine’s Pastry Chef, to the raw emotional pull of Pat Douthwaite’s Green Shield Stamps collage, to the quiet charge of Vija Celmins’ heater, and the dignity of street musicians captured on film, Alan brings each work to life with rare clarity and generosity.He also reflects on his own relationship with painting, mental health, protest, public space, theatre, and the stories that shape us. It is thoughtful, moving, surprising, and full of the spirited curiosity that made his original street moment go viral.A fitting start to the Excuse Me podcast by MyArtBroker.See more here: https://www.myartbroker.com/articles/excuse-me | — |
