A robot Christmas ornament. A clay golem from Prague. A piece of JFK's inauguration cake that's been around for more than six decades.
No, this isn't the inventory of a particularly eccentric museum. It's what people brought to our fifth Audacious LIVE Show & Tell!
Back at Dead Language Beer Project in Hartford, we invited CT Public listeners and audience members to speak about meaningful objects in their lives. And once again, the stories behind those objects took us places we never could have predicted.
