Season 2
Hosted by Emily Neumeier
Release date: November 2, 2026
This is a bonus episode where we sit down with a very special guest, Yolanda Wisher from Monument Lab, to talk about all things monuments. Because this podcast series began in 2021, we survey the monument landscape in the intervening years—what has shifted, and which questions endure? In this conversation, we touch on new monument makers who strive to meet the present moment and how to chisel away at legacies of racism and erasure. We also visit some old friends from Season 1 of the podcast.
