Maine Discovery Museum is launching a new podcast that will focus on programs and events of the Maine Discovery Museum (MDM). In this episode, we have a live recording of an event MDM launched in November 2025 - Taproom Tales. The Maine Discovery Podcast will be coming your way in May 2026!

One note: the sound is a little lower quality than you may be used to coming from this feed. We learned a ton from hosting that live event, and expect our next live recording will be quite a bit smoother!
