Thing4Things
by Zara Anishanslin and Joanna Cohen
We all live in a material world. A world of things that shapes our here and now. But that same world is shaped by the past. Whether it’s the things in museums, or the stuff in your grandparents’ house, all those things have a history. And we’re here to share their stories. But buckle up, because these are not the histories your grandpa learned in school. Each episode we take a single thing and connect its past to our present. Please join us, as we explore our shared thing for things.
