Articulations

A 2 part, 3 hour series of interviews with owners and operators of 6 venues from across the city of Seattle ranging from some of the smallest to the biggest. These interviews are mostly unedited as we felt that people are dying to know what is going on behind the scenes with our venues, which have been shuttered since March and will likely be the last businesses to reopen. This is also available as a video at https://www.articulationspodcast.com/our-venues-during-covid19/
