Season finale! 🎉
We get a little philosophical in this one: Liz, Solange and Jenny talk about use of #collections and objects, #access and human nature 💭
We'd originally intended for this episode to be a road trip special but due to Life Events (a house move) for one of our team members this'll now be a Patreon bonus episode instead. 🗺️ Thanks for understanding!

I'm super proud to be quoted (via @thecwordpodcast) in the latest issue of News in Conservation where Sharra Grow has written a fantastic article about #conservators and how we (mis)treat our own bodies in the quest for preservation of material culture.
It's well worth a read.
