Adorned Planet is a learning-driven podcast that dives into the rich world of ethnic adornments and collectible beads through thoughtful (and occasionally wide-eyed) conversations with collectors, scholars, and artists.

By asking honest, sometimes delightfully basic questions, the host creates an approachable space where experts share their knowledge in a way that is engaging, insightful, and refreshingly human. Whether discussing ancient trade beads, rare cultural adornments, or modern handmade beads and jewelry, each episode reveals the deeper meaning and artistry woven into the objects that have captivated people for centuries and the people behind them.
