My name is Tiffany Babb, and I've not only had a host of interesting jobs throughout my life (mailroom intern, pop culture reporter, moderator at comic cons), I've also gotten to meet a ton of people with interesting jobs along the way. I love learning about people's work so much, that I thought others might enjoy the experience too. Hence the podcast.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Life on the loom - Weaving and teaching with Chris Acton
Q: What do you think are the biggest misconceptions around weaving?
Many people do not recognize a loom or realize it must be set up by hand. Weaving can have a high barrier to entry because looms cost money and choosing equipment can be confusing, while community and online instruction can help beginners.
Life on the loom - Weaving and teaching with Chris Acton
Q: How did you get into weaving?
After working at Discover following college, Acton took a weaving class while considering further study in art and fiber. The craft immediately clicked, and within about three years she left her corporate job to pursue weaving.
Creating space for community through game design with Jay Dragon
Q: What is the process of writing a game?
Dragon writes just enough to make a playable version, aims to test it within 48 hours, and observes what players do and what guidance or possibilities they wish the game provided. Repeated playtesting helps shape the design.
Creating space for community through game design with Jay Dragon
Q: When you're saying about writing a game, is that a book? But what is the actual game that you create and send off into the world?
Dragon describes a game book as a framework that establishes a setting and offers players ways to act within it. Players use those tools with friends to create what happens next.
Digging into the details of content and UX design with Andy Welfle
Q: When is the best time to bring in a content designer on a project?
Ideally early, when the product is still malleable, so language can drive structure and help shape the user experience from the start.
