pilot. princess. trash collector. is a podcast about work — the jobs we do, the jobs we wanted to do and all the jobs that did or didn't happen between point A and point B. Hosted by audio producer Nick Andersen, this show explores Dr. Seuss, Studs Terkel and Richard Scary, but not necessarily all in the same breath. 

Each episode will ask the same three questions: 

1) What is the first job you remember wanting to do?

2) What do you do now?

3) What happened?

In this first episode of the show, Nick asks himself those questions, and explores his Danish heritage, Backseat Baby public media heritage and encourages us all to think more about the jobs we thought we might like to do someday if all the pieces lined up exactly right. 

The Studs Terkel interview with Ursula Oppens is excerpted from the full 1994 interview, linked here at WFMT.
