This podcast, being about work, is, by its very nature, about violence- to the spirit as well as to the body. It's also a complete rip-off of Studs Terkel's 1974 bestseller, "Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do." Join comedian (and butcher) Michael Timlin, in his attempt to find out how other artists balance what they want to do, with what they have to. Get clocked in, you know?

Does this week's guest need any introduction? Probably not, but we'll give one anyway.
