    Episode 16: Should You Be an Artist?

    Ash and Az finally tackle a question nearly every artist has faced: Should I be an artist? In this week's episode, while our co-hosts answer with a resounding "no," they still want to walk through the social nuances that lead to becoming an artist. From childhood scribbles to peddling furry erotica, the strange path of an artist is one ripe with burgeoning questions on life, self, and making money.  Music, as always, by Divorce Action John.
