  • The Lost Art of Not Losing a Work of Art
    Nov 21 2020

    Quarantine is officially getting to the Gothic Girls, and they’ve regressed back to old interests...love interests that is. H and K reflect back on simpler times when it wasn’t deadly to travel and spend hours at the Met ogling the sexy Roman statues. For their main focus, the Gothic Girls discuss lost art, including some very famous pieces. How exactly did someone get away with stealing the Mona F****** Lisa?! There’s also talk of Nazis, pigs, and porn. What more could you want in an art and architecture podcast?

  • Queens of the Stonehenge
    Nov 13 2020

    The Gothic Girls are back and resuming their normal art and architecture content. This week, get to know H and K a little better and find out why they get along so well. They revisit a topic briefly covered in a past episode—Stonehenge—and try to uncover the who, what, why, and how behind one of the most mysterious formations on Earth. I mean, it had to be aliens, right?

  • Vampires, Ghosts, and Bears, Oh My!
    Oct 31 2020

    A word of caution: this episode contains themes some listeners might find disturbing.

    It’s a bittersweet episode for the Gothic Girls. H and K have shared some of the creepiest and most sinister art and architecture they could find during this year’s Spooky Season series, but sadly it must come to an end. This episode might just be the scariest yet as they explore some of the most notorious haunted places around the world! H and K also share some personal ghostly encounters along with their personal experiences at a couple of these haunted locations. The perfect episode to celebrate this quarantine Halloween!
