Episode notes

Donna is the curator of public life at the henry ford museum in dearborne, michigan. She'll be there from July eighth to thirteenth shooting c b ho with moracca. You can join up on the facebook ologis poncast group and find photos of images that we talked about on instagram. At the end of each episode i tell you a secret - it's not as gross as it sounds.

Why were postcards invented and why do they still exist? Why do we lie to people and say our lives are better than they are? Alie stopped into the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan and talked to curator of 40 years, Donna Braden, about her work with the postcard collections -- as well as her musings about how emotions impact memory, why Americans love to hit the open road and what the biggest postcard you're allowed to mail is. Listen while riding off into the sunset or sipping tea on a porch and then send someone you love a giant postcard because you can.
