In the first episode of For the Exposure, host Tiffany Weiss, a NYC based violinist, freelancer, and professional gig-chaos survivor, sits down with friend and fellow musician Nick Wilders to talk about the reality of building a creative career.

They dive into how they met at a very questionable gig in the woods of New Jersey, touring , gig horror stories, and the strange situations freelancers somehow always end up in. Along the way they get into integrity in the industry, navigating personal values on the job, and the eternal question: when is a gig actually worth it?

If you’ve ever taken a gig for the story… this one’s for you.

In this short intro, host and NYC-based violinist Tiffany Weiss shares why she started the podcast and what listeners can expect.

After nearly a decade working in the creative industry, Tiffany has met some of the most talented and fascinating freelancers navigating the chaos of gig life. This podcast is where those stories live.

If you’ve ever worked in the arts, freelanced, or been offered a gig “for the exposure”… you’re in the right place.
