Bringing the Smithsonian to life through storytelling

Lizzie sneaks podcast listeners through the Smithsonian’s side door to discover stories that can’t be found anywhere else. She works with curators, scientists, artists and historians to broadcast tales from across the Smithsonian’s many museum collections and research centres that might otherwise go unnoticed on a trip to the National Mall.
