Announcing: the New Museum School Podcasts

3 May 2019

Towards the end of last year, our #NewMuseumSchool trainees began their placements at various museums and cultural organisations around London. They've been learning all the ins and outs of the cultural sector, getting stuck in with hands-on work, and doing all sorts of cool activities ranging from looking after artefacts to planning events, and everything in between.

As part of their training, each member of the team was tasked with creating a podcast episode relating to their placement - including research, scriptwriting, recording. They then worked with Jenny Pistella of Culture& and Catriona Oliphant of Chrome Radio to bring these audio pieces to life and get them out into the world.

And now, we're delighted to announce that these podcasts are now being launched over at Culture&, and are available for all to listen to!

You can catch all of the podcasts at the Culture& website here, or on Soundcloud here. Be sure to check back to this page regularly as well, as we'll be linking through to each podcast every week!

Click the titles below to listen to each trainee's production (list is updated weekly).
