329 - Shop Talk with Billy Baumann and James Flames
A special Friday version of Shop Talk where the gang play listener calls from 1-8555-JERKOFF. Five listeners have called in to be guests on Tough Love with Mark Brickey and Friends. If they get picked they will get a 20 minute interview on Adventures In Design where they can describe their current career obstacle and get advice from host Mark Brickey and one of his design “famous” friends. The advice is honest, may sound a little tough, but always comes from a place of love.
