February 13, 2022 CS 442: Sunday w/ Vida & Kenny pt 1
In today’s episode, Vida and Ken sit down and chop it up like only they know how. It’s tough times out there looking for a job that pays well, and to make matters tougher, it seems like some people would rather gloat on social media about denying people in the community jobs rather than helping people learn how to obtain quality gigs. Ken and Vida dive in deep on exactly why that is, and what we could do to be better neighbors, community members, and all-around better humans. WARNING: Due to mechanical errors during the recording process Vidas’ audio has a distortion that was unable to be removed.
