125. Interview: Dr. Kurt Steinberg, Chief Operating Officer of the PEM

The Peabody Essex Museum, or PEM, has stood as a pillar institution in Salem for 225 years. We were lucky enough to sit down and chat with Dr. Kurt Steinburg, the new COO of the PEM. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they learn about the inner workings on how things operate at the PEM. What does it take to facilitate a historic collection that spans more than two centuries? How are they moving forward within Salem's history and being that pillar of the community? We've also got a new answer to our favorite question: "Who is your favorite witch or wizard?"

Also, be sure to stay tuned till the very end! We have a special walkthrough with your hosts of the new exhibit, Conjuring the Spirit World: Art, Magic, and Mediums..
