Jennifer Ortiz, Carl Aldrich, and Tim Glenn are museum professionals who explore the role of museums in current events, pop culture, and anything else that comes to mind. In this episode, we discuss the women's march, Beyonce's baby announcement, and the role of museums in creating pathways for emerging professionals. NOTE: We had a few sound recording issues during this episode. We couldn't remove them, but we learned from our mistakes and it won't happen again. It won't make your ears bleed, but it might make them tickle. Sorry about that.
