What can we discover about a place by exploring the histories of those who once lived there–and those who live there still ? In what ways do cultures build upon each other as populations come and go? How do they complement each other, interact, and leave their marks on the people that come after them? And are cultures truly ever lost, even if the people move on or evolve and adapt? Lost Cultures: Living Legacies—the award-winning podcast from Travel + Leisure—returns for Season 2. This season, we’re diving into the stories of vibrant communities around the globe, including the Kānaka Maoli of Hawai‘i, the Sámi of Norway, the Baghdadi Jewish community of India, and more!

In this episode, Carter and Colby address two central ideas. First, they try to distinguish a “craft” from other activities. Are hobbies crafts? Can someone have multiple crafts? Can anything potentially qualify? Their proposed definition centers on the traditions, skills, and intentions that make crafts a distinct, human activity. After sketching these theoretical contours, they pivot, engaging how we discover or recognize our craft. This conversation involves the role of passion as well as necessity, specifically engaging the idea of life design as presented by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans in Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-lived, Joyful Life.
