In May 2013, Susan Mills<\/a> interviewed me for her podcast Bookbinding Now<\/a>. In addition to that interview<\/a>, Susan offered me the opportunity to suggest someone for a future interview or conduct my own for the podcast.<\/p>\n

Up until this point I had only conducted written interviews on the blog, so I was intrigued to test out my interview skills in a live, one-on-one scenario. I chose to interview my friend and colleague, Henry H\u00e9bert<\/a>. In the interview we chat about his experiences in the field of conservation leading up to attending North Bennet Street School<\/a> and what he’s done since graduating in 2012. Spoiler: his talents and expert skills have landed him the position of Rare Book Conservator at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
