Dave talks about the merits and rewards of being his own boss and working without a net on the road to Davenger Con.

After a recap of the recent Emerald City Comic Con, he takes the American news media to task. Dave shares his views on the media’s unending perpetuation of social stereotypes, and the relentless force multipliers that seem hellbent on steering us all away from empathy at every turn.
