    In this free-flowing episode, Annie & Jerry reflect on the dynamics of work and feminism, discussing the subsequent challenges faced and the effectiveness of second-wave feminism in light of persistent wage disparities and the increased burden of dual-income households. Then we move on to the idea of "prepping" for the apocalypse, the evil computers that live inside Teslas, and the end-of-day vibes NYC has been giving off.

Jerry recalls advice from a professor predicting the challenges of sustaining an art career and feeling torn between artistic fulfillment and financial stability.

    And finally, we take one of the voice messages one of our listeners left. We felt their question would potentially hit home for many of our listeners.

ART SMACK IS A MUST!

I have been creating art for over two decades, and this is the only podcast that truly delves into the inner workings of the art world. It provides insights and strategies for artists to challenge and transform conventional practices. This podcast is essential for any artist seeking to navigate the elitist and opaque art industry, which often appears insurmountable.
