I also learned that the best money in museums for someone who's starting out is in art modeling. After a long day running around a science center, I would show up at the Worcester Art Museum in the evening and make $20 just to stand around and listen to a painting instructor talk about art. I hope this is helpful for someone.

Robert and Jad aren't content experts, but they are interpretative experts, skilled interviewers and producers. And those skills drove the cultivation of personae that are wonderfully accessible. I love the Radiolab experience, but I wonder how much the success of the "novice voice" is contingent on the context of conversation.

So you know, we think of new power as kind of the essential skill of our age, which is how do you learn to harness the energy of these connected crowds that have become such an important part of our lives?
