Episode description

Are you the sort of person who mentions museums in your dating profile, or have you avoided these institutions at all cost? Mariah has worked in museums her whole career, studying where objects and art originate (and yes - a lot are stolen) and figuring out how to make museums more representative of their communities. We try to make the case why museums -- if curated right -- are more important now, than ever. Our discussion starts in museums and then extends to everything from homelessness accounting and interfaith work. Plus, we freak out about touching dinosaur bones, and Abigail wonders if Tim can go an entire episode without mentioning Pedagogy of the Oppressed.
