I’m a big fan of the show and really loved the talk with Élan about family, identity, and representation in this episode. TK gets excited about art like a kid, but asks questions like a seasoned professional. It’s the perfect mix!
Much love to TK and friends for folding us into conversations about burnout, heartbreak, joy, meaningful work, cheerleading foolishness, and slowing down to reconnect with creativity on our own terms. Brilliant, raw, and fun—has quickly become my top listen from one of the OG voices in this podcasting universe who very much deserves her due.

Episode 2 of "The Secret Life of TK Dutes" already got me cracking up, but it's also deeply deeply resonating with me.
Burnout. Recovery. The right to sit down somewhere. And the notion of chairs as witnesses. I love it all.
Tune in! And thank you TK for letting us bear witness to your world.
TK has created a deeply powerful series filled with hard but necessary truths. I had to pause several times, overwhelmed by how closely the words reflected my own (and very current) experience.
This show is a wake up call for yet another industry that neglects or actively harms the very people who make it possible. This is essential listening for anyone in the industry.
