About This Podcast
I’m Max Moorhouse, and I curate people’s personal libraries for a living. Fairly recently I came to a realisation - that the stories people were telling about how they imagined their dream space and what books they would surround themselves with - said something fairly profound about who they imagined themselves to be. They were weaving their memories with their aspirations and telling me a story about who they thought they were.
In A Room of Your Own, I’ll be inviting guests to explore the books and the spaces that they’ve loved. I’ll help them to construct their own dream library, and act as architect, designer and curator, inviting you to listen in on our rambling consultation on books, life and memories.
