In the first episode of Happy Making, host Travis Bumgarner shares the story behind the podcast and the community that inspired it. After years spent at a Boston makerspace surrounded by people building everything from furniture to circuits, Travis reflects on what those Tuesday nights taught him about creativity, curiosity, and connection.
He also introduces the guiding principles behind the show: this isn’t a how-to manual but an invitation to explore; curiosity should always be encouraged, never stifled; and the door to creativity should stay wide open, no gatekeeping allowed.
Happy Making is a podcast about the joy of creating and the people who can’t help but make things.
