Make This : Do That: Recent Episodes
Michael Lorsung
Make This : Do That is a podcast born from the numerous conversations that I have had over the years and continue to have with friends, colleagues, and strangers about making. The beginning of a project or the birth of an idea is often fraught with unanswered questions and intimidating hurdles, With Make This : Do that, I want to make these conversations public. I hope to not only share specific answers to questions, but also to uncover the sometimes veiled process of beginning. In doing this and exposing the workings of this process I want to share the joy and frustration of making, and affirm the ability that we all have as makers when we engage with a larger community.
