Our next guest is the artist behind Monsoon Pottery. Quality time her family has her reflecting on life and what she wants to get out of it. I appreciate how singular she is with everything she takes on. From her daily tea practice, insatiable appetite for art history, and pottery, she’s at a unique intersection that she relays throughout her tea tasting and pottery workshops. Please enjoy my conversation with Danielle Chutinthranond.

Our next guest is one of the moderators of the r/chicagofood subreddit. He shares why and how he started to moderate it. He’s made lists to organize his favorite chicken sandwiches, fries, and omakase restaurants. He’s currently organizing his favorite bib gourmand restaurants. Reddit was taken aback by how large and active the subreddit became and presented Mitch with an opportunity to cultivate the community. He began by buying out Obelix for dinner last year and a series of restaurants this year with the Reddit Community Fund. They visited places like Kyōten, Cellar Door Provisions, and Cariño to name a few. Please enjoy our conversation with Mitch Gropman.

Our next guest is the Founder and Keeper of Good Things Vending. She places local art and oddities in vending machines and places them in some of the most iconic places in the city. You can find some of her machines in places like The Chicago Cultural Center, Kimball Arts Center, and The Garfield Park Conservatory. I truly enjoyed learning how she found her way to the intersection of art and vending machines as well as discussing what our role is in the grand scheme of life. Please enjoy my conversation with the wonderful Steph Krim.
