Summary

The second installment of our 'What's Your Job' series features Em Schulz, one-half of the award-winning podcast “And That’s Why We Drink,” (and former prop creator for TV and film!), and Megan, a food scientist based in the Midwest. Before Em was sharing spooky ghost stories on their wildly successful pod, they worked at a prop warehouse in LA, creating props for shows like “New Girl,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” and “Stranger Things.” What does that job entail, and how did they get into it? (And is Thor’s hammer really that heavy?) Then, Megan teaches the class exactly what a food scientist is, what they do, and more importantly, what they DON’T do. Turns out, there’s a lot of misconceptions about the people who create the food we eat, and Megan is clearing them up!
