  • The Lost Art of Not Losing a Work of Art
    2020/11/21

    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
    2020/11/13

    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!
    2020/10/31

    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!

  • I’m a Bosch Ass Bitch
    2020/10/24

    In the third installment of the Spooky Season series, the Gothic Girls cover H’s favorite artist, Hieronymus Bosch. Known for his fantastical and nightmarish portrayals of religious subjects, some people believe Bosch had to be on drugs or even from another dimension entirely. *cough cough K cough cough* Despite being impossible to understand and decipher, H and K try their best to make some sense of the madness that is Hieronymus Bosch.

    2020/10/16

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

    H and K take a trip down memory lane and remember all the past Halloweens they've spent together...partying, dressing up, having a pajama party and watching witchy movies instead of going out...The Gothic Girls continue the Spooky Season series by discussing funerary architecture throughout history and across the globe. If there's one thing that we all have in common, it's that we all die, and H and K explore the many options for burial spaces in this episode.

  • Hey MTV! Welcome to My Cave
    2020/10/01

    In this episode, H and K check in with one another to see how each is handling the "Global F******* Pandemic" we are all facing. They jump into prehistoric architecture by exploring caves and their purpose, while highlighting some of the oldest images ever created--cave paintings. Can caves be considered architecture if they aren't man-made? Were the cave paintings used for functional or aesthetic purposes? The Gothic Girls discuss these topics and more!

  • Does This Venus Figurine Make Me Look Fat?
    2020/09/24

    In the first episode of Gothic Girls, H and K reminisce on how they met and discovered their shared passion of art and architecture, why they picked the name Gothic Girls, and what to expect from this podcast. Beginning with prehistoric art, they cover the Venus of Willendorf and other similar sculptures, exploring the concept of “What is Art?” and the purpose behind the creation of these figurines. Grab a glass of wine, unwind, and maybe learn a thing or two about art and architecture with the Gothic Girls. XOXO.
