All across campus, Purdue University students create tangible, innovative works in the makerspace and beyond. In 2021, the Purdue University Libraries and School of Information Studies partnered with the Brian Lamb School of Communication to host the podcast series, MakeYourStory. MakeYourStory hosts Annette Bochenek, Sarah Huber, and Toni DeAztlan-Smith create and post episodes about the different elements that come together to create engaging stories of making in the form of a narrative podcast. In an effort to foster a stronger sense of community among makers, MakeYourStory’s hosts create opportunities for students to share their stories and practice their skills by way of the narrative podcast.
