Discussions about what it’s like to be an artist or freelancer during the apocalypse. At least for now. Really though, we're a group of 9 friends that started a collective to help each other make and produce art projects that we've dreamt of but can't create alone. You'll hear us talk about freelance life, but also politics, society, film and TV, spirituality, community, and whatever else happens in this crazy world we live in. Join us and we'll give you a virtual hug!
