Episode three: How does beer influence work? As startups increasingly offer alcohol at the workplace, we examine how Lemonly's beer policy works, and compare it with that of BuzzFeed's Minneapolis office. // Music by Sioux Falls’ own Corey Gerlach, as well as Broke For Free, Chris Zabrinskie, Patrick Lee, and Telegraphy. // For episode four, we're gathering stories about office space.

Episode two: The pros and cons of remote work, how to communicate with employees scattered across the globe, and how to involve your team and build company culture when you've never met face-to-face. We talk with Zapier, a startup that helps you connect webapps like Dropbox and Basecamp, and that has been entirely remote since its inception in 2011: http://zapier.com. And we interview folks at our design firm Lemonly, which has hired remote workers since the beginning as well. // Music by BLiSS — http://soundcloud.com/blissed-1 — Sioux Falls’ own Corey Gerlach, as well as the bands Broke for Free and Patrick Lee, and Domestica: domesticanebraska.bandcamp.com. // For episode three, we're gathering stories about beer at work.
