Didn't I Just Feed You

What happens when a dream job disappears into thin air?

Today’s episode of Thank You for Your Interest feels like a good gossip sesh and you’re invited. Host Rebekah Sebastian interviews Morgan, an entertainment journalist who channeled her pandemic boredom into a booming business. When industry leaders took notice Morgan was sure her big break was just around the corner; but a passage of time and a social media discovery forced Morgan to re-evaluate everything.

Morgan’s optimism is contagious, sparking a lively debate between Rebekah and Samantha about their personal preferences for how they like to be rejected from a job.

Stick around for the Not Safe for Work (NSFW) segment at the end of the show, featuring listener voicemails. This week — Cody learns the hard way that first impressions don’t matter if nobody is there to meet you.
