Curator’s Choice
Like history? Love museums? From ancient relics to modern marvels, each episode of this show features a new museum and a sampling of some amazing artifacts housed there. What makes Curator’s Choice truly special is our exclusive interviews with the unsung heroes of museums—the curators themselves. These guardians of history will share insights, anecdotes, and the often untold stories that breathe life into the artifacts they protect.
Through this podcast, our mission is to dispel the notion of museums as static, old, and dull spaces. Instead, we aim to reveal them as vibrant repositories brimming with mystery and wonder, one artifact at a time.
New episodes are released every two weeks, and you can tune in anywhere you get your podcasts!
What if you could step back in time to a farm where history, medicine, and agriculture intertwine? Join us as we uncover the remarkable legacy of the Remick family, who have tended their northern New England farm since 1790. Through stories of resilience and dedication, we spotlight Edwin Remick and his son, Edwin Crafts Remick, the country doctors who served their community for nearly a century, adapting to the challenges of rural healthcare while embracing the spirit of innovation and care.
🌾 Where History, Medicine, and Agriculture Meet ✨
We'll journey through rooms that once buzzed with the activity of patients seeking homemade remedies crafted with care. This episode captures the fascinating transition from these traditional practices to modern pharmaceuticals, spurred by scientific advancements and regulatory milestones that revolutionized the medical landscape. From hand-mixed concoctions to strictly regulated drugs, explore how these changes have shaped the way we understand and utilize medicine today.
