497: Michael Middleton on collecting with special guest Rebecca Ickes Carra

Today on the show I have a double episode. We start by talking to
podcast host Rebecca Ickes Carra about joining the Brickyard
Podcast Network. Her podcast The Makers Playbook focuses on the
business of art and “what it’s really like to make a living
from the things we make.” Season five of the podcast launches
next week with an interview with Archie Bray Foundation director
Rebecca Harvey. Subscribe to The Maker's Playbook now on your
favorite podcast app.


In the second part of our interview, I talk with Michael
Middleton, a multifaceted creative who has written plays,
designed video games, and worked in consultanting. In the
interview we talk about how a family connection to ceramics lead
him to collect a broad range of studio makers and artists. You
can see his collection at www.artworkarchive.com.
