The Center for Design and Material Culture
Show is on a break or finished.
Refrangible is a podcast from the Center for Design and Material Culture at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

In each episode, we explore the stuff of everyday life and what it tells us about ourselves, our world, and our values. From keepsakes to clutter, from tools to trash, the things we make, use, and save carry stories within them. Tune in for a closer look at the material traces of our past and what they might inspire for our shared future.
