You're listening to Deadheads, but you probably already knew that, right? If you'd like to binge the entire season right now, which of course you do, become a subscriber on Apple for just $3.99 per month. You'll also get bonus episodes, and that's like less than basically anything else you can buy. And it helps us continue to make this passion project. Enjoy! Before we get into this new episode, we want to share with you another podcast that we love from our friend, Sex Ed with DB. Her new season is all about pleasure, and we think that you will love it.
Sex. You've probably had it recently, but when's the last time you actually talked about it? Yeah, exactly. That's because most of us got terrible sex ed, and now it feels weird to talk about with the people we care about most. But it doesn't have to be. I'm DB, seasoned sex educator and host of Sex Ed with DB, bringing you science-backed, medically accurate sex ed that's actually fun to listen to. We're talking orgasms, anal, confidence, kink, testosterone myths, blowjobs, smut, sex research, all of it. If you're new to Sex Ed with DB, start with one of our most popular episodes, 20 Types of Orgasms with Goody Howard. New season, more pleasure. Find Sex Ed with DB on your favorite podcasting app.
Hi, this is Jamie from Deadheads. This podcast is meant to be listened to in order. So if you haven't already, make like Missy Elliott and put your thing down, flip it and reverse it back to episode one. In our last episode of Deadheads, we learned that Samantha Parkington is single-handedly responsible for securing American labor protections.
If our factories can hurt children, then we have not made good progress in America.
We inducted all of you fine listeners into our fraternity, Alpha Delta Delta. A-D-D? Exactly. Oh, it's a Sephora sale. My bank account is so fraternal again. Oh, but look at this cute haircut on Pinterest. We learned that freelancers are not so free.
I don't have freedom. My time is not my own. Actually, it's less my own.
This week, we'll rage against the machine, investigate our value in the marketplace, and maybe even reclaim the definition of work. If you're hearing this podcast right now, you're doing something we never expected to happen. Just hearing this podcast. At least we didn't make it with the expectation that anyone would. We just wanted to do it for the sake of doing it. But then we got a little validation. You mean money? Yes, I mean money. We won this $20,000 grant I'd applied to kind of on a whim. And because I am so disorganized, I almost didn't even see the email alerting us to the fact that we'd won. If it had come to me, we certainly would never have seen the money.
Yeah.
We couldn't believe it. No. It was a lot of money for two people who basically had just a few recordings on their phone and a dream. But it was more than enough for us to set ourselves up to make something in earnest. And so we did. We made a pilot and it went from being a dream to being the most important thing that we have ever done. Actually create something from our imagination and see it through. But also, the year that we started writing this podcast is the year that our careers essentially disappeared into thin air. What a confusing place to be. Yeah, just when I had stopped constantly codependently people-pleasing and started treating myself with the respect I'd been doling out to everyone else.
And just when I'd found the bravery to trust my voice enough to do the thing I was too afraid to do 20 years before. We found ourselves at the peak of our creativity. And the rock bottom of our ability to earn a living. Jamie had brought her debt down, but was swiftly getting back into it when she lost her most lucrative writing gig.
And since I'd started talking about being in debt all the time, if and when I did get any kind of job offer, it was usually for something finance related, which led me to believe that the people offering me those jobs had not listened to this podcast.
Certainly not. But, you know, I needed money.
