Join Banksy super fan James Peak in a thrilling podcast series that discloses untold stories about the elusive artist\u2019s journey from street to global fame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds are ready to blow the lid off the world of <\/span>Banksy<\/span><\/a>, the globally acclaimed graffiti artist, in their upcoming 10-part podcast, “The Banksy Story.” Curated and presented by devoted Banksy aficionado, James Peak, the series unravels the shrouded life and unprecedented rise of the artist, from the streets to global stardom.<\/span><\/p>\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Join Banksy super fan James Peak in a thrilling podcast series that discloses untold stories about the elusive artist\u2019s journey from street to global fame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>\r\n\r\n The podcast promises to shine a light on previously undisclosed tales of Banksy’s life and artistic journey. From in-depth discussions with cultural historian John Higgs to intimate accounts from Steph Warren, Banksy’s former employee, the series explores the human being behind the signature stencils.<\/span><\/p>\n Warren’s recollections provide listeners with a rare insight into the machinations of the secretive artist, delving into everything from Banksy’s triumphant ascent to his innovative approach to navigating his notoriety. Notably, she talks about the artist’s vast philanthropic contributions, how he masterfully lured the elite art world into his orbit, and the distinctive way he governs his clandestine universe.<\/span><\/p>\n One of the podcast highlights include Warren’s recounting of Banksy’s 2005 Crude Oils show, a revealing moment when she first met Banksy’s father. In a comical turn of events, she explains how Banksy, having told his parents he was merely a “painter and decorator,” finally disclosed his real profession during this exhibition.<\/span><\/p>\n Another tantalizing aspect of the podcast is the potential unveiling of Banksy’s voice. After an audacious series of escapades at New York’s prestigious art institutions, where Banksy daringly placed his own works, an interview with an individual claiming to be the artist surfaced. A voice, marked by a charming Bristolian twang, recounting the amusing incidents with a witty sense of humor, leads many to believe this could indeed be <\/span>Banksy<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10028,"featured_media":161033,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[410],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-162043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-art-and-culture"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162043"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10028"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162043"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162043\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/161033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\r\n
