Description

Making Conversation is a bi-weekly (but sometimes weekly) podcast where we celebrate the act of making in all its forms. We spotlight the incredible individuals powering our creative community, dive into need-to-know stories of craft and its history, and explore issues deeply rooted in our values of diversity and inclusion–all while sharing what it's like to build a startup at the intersection of technology and crafts and the first social marketplace for makers, crafters, and artists.
