This event was recorded live at Cooks Chapel, Packing House in Anaheim, California. Produced in partnership with Brew Sessions, Anaheim Packing District and The LAB.  1888 Center programs are recorded and archived as a free educational resource on our website or with your favorite podcast app including Apple and Spotify. Each interdisciplinary episode is designed to provide a unique platform for industry innovators to share stories about art, literature, music, history, science, or technology.
