Meanwhile... at the Museum

Cincinnati Museum Center is celebrating the opening of a brand new permanent exhibit in the Museum of Natural History and Science! Ancient Worlds Hiding In Plain Sight lets visitors dive beneath and waves and into deep time, to a time when what is today Cincinnati was at the bottom of a shallow tropical sea, teeming with life. We talked to Dr. Brenda Hunda, CMC's Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology, and Stacey Kutish, Senior Director of Exhibit Development to find out how an exhibit like this comes together.

Have you tried turning it off and back on again? This week week we're talking to Dave Zlatic, our Chief Technology Officer, who will be the first to tell you that it usually works. We'll talk cybersecurity, guest experience, and find out if Dave can beat Cody in a race down the hallway. It's all happening... Meanwhile... at the Museum.

If you haven't caught on by now, Cincinnati Museum Center tends to collect interesting personalities. Case in point: the voice of today's guest may be familiar to longtime fans of Cincinnati radio as Venomous Valdez, though our employment records here at CMC call her Rene Dean, Manager of Event Services. 
We asked Venomous Valdez to come up with a playlist of music that has some connection to the Cincinnati region, and she delivered. Check it out here:

We'll also note that this was recorded the week of the Taylor Swift concert at Cincinnati's Paycor Stadium, which you may guess from the conversation.

Did you know that Cincinnati Museum Center has its own all-inclusive exhibits workshop? We're kicking off our new podcast by talking to Erica Schultz, an exhibition fabricator! If you've been to CMC since 2018, you've seen her handiwork, but you might not have even realized it.
