Pueblo in Focus Podcast
New episodes available on the last Thursday of every month.
The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC) is excited to announce Pueblo In Focus, a new podcast series on Pueblo culture.
Each 20-minute episode will feature a member of IPCC’s staff from one of its departments, such as its museum, gift shop, and restaurant.
The goal of Pueblo In Focus is to expand awareness of Pueblo culture for both local Albuquerque residents and tourists who are interested in learning about New Mexico. Audiences will not only learn about the IPCC campus, but also about Pueblo history, art, food, and culture from IPCC staff who work with these topics.
