Hungry for mid-day community and conversation? Spend your lunch hour with us! Join Merk Nguyen, co-host of Radiotopia's Adult ISH; Palace Shaw, Community Manager of Podcast Garage Boston; and the wider Garage community for a listening lunch.

We'll provide the audio, great conversation and, of course, lunch. Merk and Palace will present a few stand-out moments from Adult ISH and facilitate a conversation about creating a podcast. Curious about what it takes to make a podcast or what working in the podcasting industry is like? Palace and Merk will follow the conversation with a Q+A to answer all of your questions!

As always, the PRX Podcast Garage is wheelchair accessible and welcomes all people, whether listener or producer, novice or expert. Tickets are $7.00 and include lunch.
