Can’t make it in person? Buy the digital season pass for virtual access to all Mixed Taste events!

Your favorite off-beat lecture series is back this summer! Mixed Taste is a long-running, beloved program where even the most mismatched subjects find unexpected common ground in an interactive lecture series that can go pretty much anywhere. Two speakers each speak for twenty minutes on two completely unrelated topics, and then the audience takes over – finding insightful, engaging, and sometimes hilarious connections between the two topics.

Discover something new, be wildly entertained, and shake up your weekday routine with these tag-team talks where anything goes. Buckle up, things are going to get weird!

*This Digital Season Pass only grants virtual livestream access to each event (Wednesday nights at 7PM from July 12 to August 16). You will be emailed a link to the livestream two hours and also 10 minutes before each event.*
