Interesting people sharing cool things they love...

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 dig, and want to share with you.

Five Things is an ongoing series at the Podcast Garage hosted by Radiotopia's Julie Shapiro. We're joined this month by Nick Quah, the publisher and editor of Hot Pod.

Tickets are $10 and on sale here. We will have wine, refreshments, and Nick's favorite snacks on hand. Join us before the event from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. to meet local audio makers at our monthly Maker Mingle with AIR!
