If you've ever been asked "is that ALL you do?" about your art, this one's for you. We talk about, internet discourse, whether people take you seriously at markets, why random old dudes assume you'll quit art for babies, and Ben's eternal struggle to finish a song.

From our little corner of Appalachia to wherever you're listening, thanks for hanging with us.

However you're feeling right now, we hope you leave a little more encouraged to create. If this episode resonated with you, sharing it with someone who needs it means more than you know.

New episodes every other Thursday. You can follow the show, browse past episodes, and find more information at becauseofcoursewedid.buzzsprout.com.

Be kind to yourself, and keep making art.
