Whether it’s a new invention, a delicious meal or a crafty project, making something can inspire a unique sense of pride. You’ll hear about an elaborate doghouse that took over one man’s life for a while. An inventor who tackled the limitations of the egg timer in the early days of digital gadgets. And how a knitting project kept one woman grounded over the course of two years.

Segment A:
Building a living wall, creating a "sound cave" (a two ton instrument that resembles a pillow fort made from piano parts) and perhaps the most elaborate doghouse in the world.

Segment B: An interview with Etsy success story Emily Martin of "The Black Apple," how building a bed can be like giving birth and the story of an epic knitting project. 

Segment C: DIY butchering and inventing a new kitchen timer in the pre-digital age.

Econ_small On this episode of Destination DIY, we look at what happens when you think of the economy as a do-it-yourself project. Local currency as a form of marketing for a small town, how kids learn to barter and saving money without a bank are all part of this intricately woven show that might just make you feel optimistic about money for a change. 

Segment A: Defining a DIY Economy with economist Joe Cortright, a visit to a Naked Lady Party (aka clothing exchange) and an inspiring story about personal sacrifice in the service of economic change.

Segment B: A look at how local currencies function in two different communities and how to save money without a bank.

Segment C: The economy of kids — bartering on the playground and selling art to grownups. Plus a look at economic models without money: The Really Really Free Market in Utica and the Baltimore Free Store.

DIY Rituals

From Rendered | Part of the Destination DIY series | 59:01

We depend on all kinds of secular and spiritual rituals to mark the ends and beginnings of things. Sometimes this means following a long-standing tradition, but sometimes you just have to make up your own.

Representing Yourself

From Rendered | Part of the Destination DIY series | 59:00

Representing Yourself is a DIY project we do in all kinds of ways — in job interviews, on stage, in court and through visual art such as self-portraits and tattoos. ***This show aired on Oregon Public Broadcasting as part of a series of 5 episodes in a twice-weekly time slot rotating with The Moth and Radio Lab Saturdays at noon and Wednesdays at 8pm.***

Self_small Representing Yourself kicks off this series of Destination DIY series of hour-long shows that push the do-it-yourself envelope beyond crafts and home improvement. This episode takes a look at all kinds of self-expression, from representing yourself in court to telling true stories on stage. We also explore the way tattoos represent a part of the self.

Segment A: DIY legal defense, representing yourself in a job interview and a walk through the park to ask people, "How do you represent yourself?"

Segment B: What tattoos represent about people and one man's compulsion to tell true stories from his dating life on stage.

Segment C: Self-portraits and an interview with one of the notorious Guerrilla Girls about representations of women in the art world.
