Out the gate we're talking about the rising cost of rent in New York City and how it's becoming increasingly difficult for young people to afford living there. We share the story of Sophia Cilentano, a 21-year-old intern who found it cheaper to fly from South Carolina to New York for work than to rent an apartment in the city. It's a shocking example of just how expensive living in New York has become.
Next up we discuss the challenges of pursuing a career in the arts, particularly acting. Lulu shares her experience of auditioning in New York while working full-time at Disney and how she used all her personal days to fly up and audition. We also talk about the University of Wisconsin-Madison's job opening for a cheese taste tester, which is a quirky and fun alternative to traditional careers.
And finally, we encourage our listeners to do something nice for someone today and experience the joy of making others happy. It's a simple yet powerful message that we hope will inspire our audience to spread kindness wherever they go.
