    This was the case with Devin, who is back in the workforce after a 16-year absence. In this episode, Devin openly shares her experiences making her way in a world without employment, and finding her way back.

  • I Don't "Just DJ" (Benjamin)
    Mar 22 2024

    Most of us know a DJ. They're the person who picks the music. How hard could it possibly be? Maybe the DJ is creating a beat in real time to an audience, or maybe they are scratching vinyl records. Those things certainly seem to require some skill and attention.

    But what sort of talent is required to play a bunch of songs in a digital format? Or to press a button on a pre-programmed beat that someone else created? Surely, anyone can do that. ...or can they? Listen as Ocho talks with Benjamin, a mobile DJ in Southern Minnesota, about the craft, subtlety, and behind-the scenes work that's required of someone who is hired to "just DJ."
