4. Did someone say Thank You? with Betty Yu, Geoffrey Jackson Scott, and Megan Marshall
In the 3rd episode of art Work, we gather round with Geoffrey Jackson Scott, Betty Yu, and Megan Marshall to talk about generosity! Generous labor? Laborious generosity? We talk Thank You emails, listening, compensation... and so much more! We have our first segment of "+1/-1", a lightning round segment where our guests get to literally '+1' or '-1' a statement (caveats a plenty). Pizza Rat, anyone?
