Getting Making Podcast introduction

Hello and thanks for tuning in! This is a short introductory episode of my podcast, Getting Making, where I explore how we care for objects.

About 5 years ago I started thinking more explicitly about mishaps and care in relation to things. They were both topics which were very present in my practice and research around repair, but seemed to shine through a bit differently to other ideas I found floating around there. 

A bit more object and practice based research, and some informal chats later, I decided to start recording some of those conversations, as they were becoming more interesting and more pertinent in the world we live in now. I spoke to a philosopher and a writer, an artist activist, curators, a conservator, and makers, and these conversations became my Getting Making podcast. Hopefully you will enjoy them as much as I did.
