    Interesting Format
    Really like the format but the best bit is the story of Steph really like her and her story. Whether you are interested in art or even Banksy it’s well worth listening to.

    Good storytelling
    Overall, this was good. The podcast has solid storytelling and interviews. I learned quite a bit about Banksy and his mystery. However, the sound bites that were inserted from random movies, etc. were so annoying and unnecessary.

    GRAFF IS NOT FOR YOU
    BANKSY IS MEDIOCRE AT BEST. Real graff dudes with more talent in their index finger never got the recognition they deserved. There are so many more interesting artists but you UK clowns think banksy is so hard. I have way more respect for 1UP and the work those guys put in. Stop giving attention to people who don’t deserve it. Greta Thunberg has more balls than banksy- at least she isn’t afraid to get arrested.

    Worth a Listen
    Witty storytelling, great concept for doing Banksy quotes (duping the voices of notable persons, which is effective and fun) and compelling interviews provide great insight into Banksy’s career span, anonymity and controversy and attempts to learn his identity. A standout interview is with Steph Warren, who one hopes finds renewed success and continued wellness. Her contribution to the story really stood out, as did her loyalty to the artist. She has a beautiful soul, recovery is no easy path. Glad she’s got that crazy Eddie alongside her as a companion. The art collector who has the Banksy print of surveillance cameras was also interesting, I found his voice to be quite odd-too perfect and unidentifiable as to country or continent. I thought perhaps it was altered or enhanced which is fine, but if it had been, James probably would have said so even if the reason had to be kept private. Otherwise, the gentleman has to have the greatest enunciation ever: English and Swiss schools? For someone who isn’t a journalist, this felt like a polished presentation and report. Well done. Also enjoyed Duncan the sound guy’s insights, honest and decisive. Thanks for the pod!
