The More You Find

In July 2023, the museum recorded a trailer for The More You Look Podcast, and we think, now more than a year later, we got the direction, the goals about right. Over the years, museum outreach has considered the museum from many angles. What does, not any museum, but this museum look like in terms of a gallery, in terms of a website, a book, a card game? What does this museum sound like when it takes on the form of a podcast. And what can we as a community, and the museum’s visitors, learn from that.Museum H.R. manager Emilie Nelson asks Director of Exhibits, Design, and Digital Media, Roger Topp a few questions about the podcast. What were the expectations going in? How much work has it been? What are the challenges, and what’s still to come? He answered some questions and sounds like he tried to evade others.The More You Look is a production of the UA Museum of the North, on the campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the ancestral lands of the Dena people of the lower Tanana River. UAMN illuminates the natural history and cultural heritage of Alaska and the North through collections, research, education, and partnerships, and by creating a singular museum experience that honors diverse knowledge and respect for the land and its peoples.
