Five Things: An evening of favorites
Greatness is inspired by greatness. Five Things invites some of today’s most talented and successful producers, artists, writers and thinkers to share five things – audio, visuals, books, objects or something else entirely – that have shaped their creative practice over time. Or that inform how they approach their work now. Or, simply enough, that they love, and want to share with you.
Five Things is an ongoing series at the Podcast Garage hosted by Julie Shapiro (EP, Radiotopia.) To kick it all off, she welcomes Roman Mars (host and creator, 99% Invisible) to share five of his favorite things.
