Hipster at Home gets their stuff together to do the most hipster thing you can do: start a podcast. After all, starting a podcast is essentially the hipster equivalent of deciding to start a band. Join the three of us as we embark on our adventure to cover the hard hitting topics that hipsters face, such as comparing non-dairy milks, how to assemble the perfect at home bar, and what to know about living in the most hipster parts of a city. It's just like having a chat with friends, only more mason jars. Music: It's Not Over 'Til The Bossa Nova by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com
