About This Podcast

Let’s rethink the way we ”save our stuff.” Lindsey Smith, Exhibitsmith, helps people interpret, preserve, and better understand the objects that make up our world. If you have a lot of stuff, this might feel overwhelming. But believe it or not, Lindsey truly believes that artifact and heirloom preservation can be both easy and fun. She invites you to sit back, relax, and listen to her professional thoughts, personal musings, and the ridiculous stories that she’s encountered while on – and off – the job. Hopefully it’ll all help you feel a little better about how to deal with your own stuff.
