63. Blue Ikea Bags: Brazil’s Wild Library Art Heist

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 18:00:00 GMT

This week on Framed, we head to São Paulo for a heist that feels less Ocean’s Eleven and more absolute chaos. On the final day of a library exhibition in Brazil, two men walked in and ripped rare works off the walls, shoved them into blue Ikea bags, and disappeared into the city in under ten minutes. Among the stolen works were valuable Matisse prints from Jazz and engravings tied to Brazilian cultural history. We get into the art, the suspects and a man nicknamed Gargamel that we spend way too much time talking about.

Season three is here, the studio has changed, and after a brief detour through Adelaide, Midsumma and the magic of Melbourne dinner theatre, we get into one of the wildest art scandals in modern history. This week on Framed, we’re diving into the collapse of New York’s legendary Knoedler Gallery — the elite institution that sold fake masterpieces to some of the richest collectors in the world. We unpack the forged Jackson Pollocks and Rothkos, the mysterious “Mr X” story and the question that still hangs over the whole mess: did Ann Freedman know? It’s an art world meltdown so huge it brought down a gallery that had been operating for 165 years.

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 19:00:00 GMT

After a month of spooky season and horror, we’re slowing down (sort of). Joel’s back from Japan — full of stories about trains, terrifying theme park rides, and a surprise HBO cameo in New York — while Steph’s been busy sanding concrete walls and accidentally becoming a lady tradie.

In this week’s chaotic catch-up, we talk travel highs, ADHD hyperfixations, Lily Allen’s messy new album, and what happens when your podcast goes mildly viral for having too many opinions about The Shining.

55. Inside the Church of Satan

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 18:00:00 GMT

This week we unwrap the spectacle that was Anton LaVey—the self-styled “Black Pope” who turned occult theater into a movement. From alleged circus days and media stunts to San Francisco’s infamous Black House, we track how LaVey founded the Church of Satan and packaged sin as brand strategy. We dig into what the church actually taught, why the shock wore off, how satanic panic hit back, and what splinter groups came next. This one’s about image, power, and the line between belief and performance.

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 18:30:00 GMT

This week, we’re leaving the Overlook Hotel and heading to the real place that started it all — Colorado’s Stanley Hotel.

Steph takes us through the true story behind The Shining — the haunted room that survived an explosion, the ghostly chambermaid who still unpacks your luggage, and the night Stephen King checked in and left with one of the greatest horror stories ever written.

Joel plays Demon or Debunked?, ranks the ghost photos, and reveals which hauntings could actually be real (spoiler: he’s not totally sure). From mirror portals to a piano-playing ghost with attitude, this one’s equal parts creepy and ridiculous

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 18:00:00 GMT

It’s time to check in at the Overlook Hotel.

This week on Framed, we’re pulling apart Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining — how it works, why it still crawls under your skin, and what Shelley Duvall actually went through on set. Joel confesses to watching it very high at 14 (and never quite recovering), Steph digs into Kubrick’s obsessive directing, and together they unpack the movie’s eerie logic, impossible corridors, and that final photo everyone argues about.

Along the way we talk: liminal horror, Room 237 theories, Nicholson’s unhinged grin, and how The Shining showed that horror can be well lit.

In this episode we trace the queer DNA of the genre—from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the Hays Code’s “coded villains,” and why queer audiences see themselves in monsters and final girls. Along the way we talk repression, desire, camp, and the modern movies carrying the torch.

50. How an A-List Art Advisor Ran a Ponzi Scheme | The Lisa Schiff Case

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 19:00:00 GMT

An A-list art adviser. A velvet-rope world built on trust. And one word that made $1.8M vanish: “gone.”

This week we unpack the rise and fall of Lisa Schiff—from scholarly beginnings and blue-chip access (think Paris galleries, Tribeca offices and celebrity clients) to the playbook prosecutors say she ran for years: diverting client funds, stalling payouts, and papering over holes until the scheme collapsed. We break down how art advising should work, what a Ponzi scheme actually is, the Hong Kong sale that triggered the unraveling, and Schiff’s guilty plea, 30-month sentence, and multimillion-dollar restitution. Expect art-world mechanics, gossip-level receipts, and practical takeaways on provenance, payments, and protecting yourself in private sales.

Steph Recommends: Trashy true-crime docs on Disney+/Binge (e.g., Mean Girl Murders) as easy background watches.

Joel Recommends: Utopia (Aussie workplace comedy) as a bingeable, anxiety-tinged office satire.

49. The Untold Story of Artemisia Gentileschi

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 19:00:00 GMT

In this episode of Framed: Canvas, Cuffs & Other Stuffs, we follow the extraordinary journey of Artemisia Gentileschi, the Baroque painter whose bold canvases and unflinching vision rewrote art history.

From her years in Florence to her return to Rome, her entrepreneurial studio in Naples, and her prestigious invitation to paint at the English court, Artemisia proved again and again that she could thrive in a male-dominated art world. Along the way, she redefined biblical and mythological subjects through women’s eyes — making her one of the most important painters of her era.

48. This shit is bananas: How the Guerrilla Girls Took on the Art World

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 19:00:00 GMT

In this episode of Framed: Canvas, Cuffs & Other Stuffs, we dive into the wild history of the Guerrilla Girls — the anonymous collective of feminist art activists who shook up the art world with gorilla masks, sharp humour, and shocking stats.

From the courtroom drama of the early 2000s — when anonymity was tested and real names were forced into the open — to splinter groups, copyright battles, and the ironic moment when their protest posters ended up hanging in the very museums they once critiqued, this story has it all.

We break down:

The lawsuit that nearly unmasked the Guerrilla Girls.
How splinter groups like Guerrilla Girls Broad Band and Guerrilla Girls on Tour complicated the movement.
Why anonymity still matters, and how the group used humour, stats, and spectacle to highlight sexism and racism in art.
The legacy: from shocking posters to museum walls.

🎭 Expect courtroom chaos, feminist fire, and yes — a cheeky discussion about naked men in galleries.

👉 If you’ve ever wondered who gets remembered in art history and who gets erased, this episode asks the uncomfortable questions.

46. Bob Ross: The Happy Little Legacy War

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 19:00:00 GMT

You know the perm. You know the voice. You’ve probably fallen asleep to the sound of “happy little trees.” But behind the gentle persona of Bob Ross was a very real — and very bitter — legal battle over who would control his name, image, and legacy after he died.

This week on Framed, we go deep into the world of Bob Ross Inc, the Kowalski family who built the brand, and Bob’s son Steve, who’s spent decades trying to reclaim what he believes is rightfully his. There’s friendship, betrayal, alleged fake paintings, a CIA background, and… a squirrel named Peapod.

📺 From PBS to Netflix documentaries, the Bob Ross brand has become a billion-dollar machine. But who does it really belong to?

From a cleaner who scrubbed the "dirt" off a $1.4 million sculpture, to a man who punched a Monet, to a couple who shattered a crystal chair inspired by Van Gogh — this episode is a full gallery of oopsie-daisies.

We ask: what happens when you break the priceless? Can a meme restore a masterpiece? And are we all one clumsy moment away from international infamy?

Also: museum witches, Dark Mofo chaos, fake Picassos, and why you probably don’t want your blood featured in a gallery.

This week on Framed, we dive into the chaotic and captivating world of Wolfgang Beltracchi, one of the most successful (and stylish) art forgers in history. From falsified provenance to perfectly “aged” canvases, Beltracchi didn’t just replicate — he reinvented the art of deception.

What does it mean to fake a masterpiece? Is forgery itself a kind of art? And why did the art world want to believe him?

We trace the brushstrokes of his most notorious cons — and the downfall that finally brought him down.
