Episode 4 - Making it Happen: DIY as a Counternarrative to Convenience Culture

This episode we dive into the intricacies of do-it-yourself culture, talking to two experts in the field. Laura's friend Josh, who has been involved in maker spaces for many years, joins us for our Deep Dive and explains the intricacies of maker spaces and the distinctions between makers, hackers, and crafters. Then we have a very special Guest Who Knows Best this week, Christina's mother, Janet, who shares tips and tales from her twenty years of quilting, including her successful production of a Minecraft quilt and the trials of quilting with t-shirts. Finally this week's roundup includes a few odds and ends to get you into the world of DIY culture, including Spoonflower, eShakti, the TV show Making It, and Project Repat.
