Welcome to our regular Popcorn Q&A 🍿, a convo time with People & Company and friends.
In this thread, we’re welcoming our new “Get Together” podcast correspondent and founder of Commonplays, Maggie Zhang. Ask her about:
The year she spent traveling to 25 countries and documenting the stories most important to her—community, play, and places—on her blog called Commonplays.
Her recent residency with Montreal-based design studio Daily tous les jours, which builds public art installations (like musical swings and giant singalongs) to bring people together.
Maggie and the P&C team will be responding here live at 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET. We invite you to start populating questions and to also share your POV with answers!
🍿Tell us what you think, please!
Popcorn Q&A is new to us and we would love your feedback so we can improve the experience *with* you in mind. Do you have 3 minutes to share some thoughts? If so, click here. Thank you!
Can you tell me more about your residency with Daily tous les jours? What did it involve/what did you do/what'd you learn?
Maggie, what types of communities, stories, or leaders are you hoping to find and profile in the future with the Get Together podcast? Why those?
