In this podcast, Jacob and Adrienne are joined by Rupal Shah to discuss work that comes from cultural contexts other than the dominant mainstream.

NOTE: the really boring topic that we try to avoid talking about off the top makes an appearance around 3:30. We appreciate your patience as we work on our technical difficulties. In the meantime, if you or someone you know has experience fix those kind of sounds (full description) let us know. Thank you.

We apologize for the quality of Jacob's mic. He forgot his good mic at home. It won't happen again.
