Welcome to EMP Chatter, a podcast by Carl J. Aldrich, Tim Glenn, and Jennifer Ortiz focused on issues of interest to Museum Studies students and Emerging Museum Professionals. In this pilot episode, the hosts discuss Brian Switek's Aeon article, "Give Natural History Museums Back to the Grown Ups" (October 7, 2016). Also an interesting discussion about the value of graduate degrees in Museum Studies and Public History. Ending on a lighter note, some museum ghost stories.
