Margaret Smith

Margaret comes from the world of academia. She has worked as a teacher and a school librarian, and has enjoyed refining her skills as a photographer. She’s also raised three kids. But as if that isn’t challenging enough, she decided to dive into the world of podcasting. Her love of history and the chance to get behind-the-scenes at museums around the US (and eventually the world) was the deciding factor. Plus she gets to work with her cousin. 😁
