Adam’s mom returns to the podcast as our special guest this week as we talk about our obsession with the show Fleabag–leading into a mini spoilercast discussion. Plus, we’re still processing the shutter of Maker Media, and give our appreciation for the team who tirelessly put on Maker Fare for the past ten years.

Rise up people! Don’t let Big Manufacturing keep you down!

I binged Fleabag over a couple of days before listening to this. It reminds me a lot of the british comedy Peep Show starring David Mitchell, Robert Webb and Olivia Coleman.
I think that there’s enough support in the maker community that Make magazine and Maker Faire won’t be gone for long. Admittedly Adam Savage’s Tested Maker Faire does has a ring to it…
Adam mentioned his fascination with lost manuscripts, I imagine he has probably read The Swerve: How the World Became Modern is a book by Stephen Greenblatt. If not, it is a pretty cool account of the rediscovery of a classic text that influenced the Renaissance.
