Podcasts by The Things That Make Us
A podcast about people and the objects that have shaped them. Each week, a guest is invited to pick 5 things that have inspired, delighted, provoked or influenced them. They then talk about these items ‘on tape’ at a time and place of their choosing - ideally with as many of the things present as possible. The show is presented and produced by Zoe Laughlin, Director of the Institute of Making in London. For pictures of all the things selected in each episode, please visit www.thethingsthatmakeus.com
