Host J.D. gets into why he decided to launch a crowdfunding page and talks to four creative friends - Chicago visual artist Dylan Sowle, Chicago musician Mike Fox (Arthhur), Memphis musician Jeremy Scott (Reigning Sound, Toy Trucks), and Chicago comedian Andy Fleming - about monetizing their creative lives.  Then J.D. plays a couple of songs off of his "great lost album" project.  

Host J.D. re-lives the week gone by, including such highlights as finally filing for unemployment and celebrating 13 years of marriage to Jenn.  Later, Memphis musician Jack Alberson checks in via prerecorded message, J.D. unearths a forgotten "gem," and Jenn joins the show to talk about binge-worthy TV.  

Musician J.D. Reager introduces himself and his struggle to the listening audience and tells the sad but ultimately uplifting story of how he "got here" and why he decided to launch a new podcast in the midst of a pandemic.
