Where Have You Been, Bitch?

Arts EN ↓ 77 episodes

A podcast about finding purpose at the end of the world. Host Jane West shares conversations with artists, creatives and entrepreneurs about being an introvert in an extroverted world, the tough questions we all gotta ask ourselves sometimes, and finding what's important in this post-capitalist hellscape we find ourselves in. We're all just trying to make our way, make a buck, make love, make friends, and make sense of it all. On top of working a day job.
