You don’t have to be an expert on museum spaces to enjoy this absorbing and witty show. Jonathan Alger starts out with well-chosen guests, then guides them through an hour or so of edifying conversation that will resonate with—and likely inspire—anyone who has ever taken on a substantial creative challenge.
As someone new to the museum space, coming from a graphic design background, this podcast has been absolutely invaluable to me. Jonathan is an excellent host. Cordial and uplifting, delightfully humorous, and amazingly attentive. It’s clear he has an abundance of experience, but utilizes it in a measured and instinctive way so that he’s never stealing the show, but always bringing the best out of his guests.
Jonathan’s MTM podcast is both enjoyable and educational. He works very hard to understand not just what his impressive list of guests do in their work, but what they do it. Keep up the good job!
Really salient info so far for anyone looking to establish museum-like experiences that mix the physical and virtual. Offered in a structure that designers like myself can easily communicate to the stakeholders and sponsors I need to win over.
Also very entertaining! Look forward to future guests!
