There is a great Annie Dillard coat about how you spend your days is how you spend your life, you know, and when I first read it, I felt so afraid that I thought right now every day I'm writing in my journal that I've not done any writing.

Welcome back to Working.

I'm your host, Ronald Young Jr. And I'm your host Ronald Young Jr.

And I am your other host Isaac Butler.

And we should also say Ronald, this is your first episode

as an official co-host of working,

welcome aboard the USS Working.

Why don't you tell the listeners a little bit about yourself?

It's great to have you on the show.

Oh, it's great to be here, Isaac.

I am Ronald Young Jr.

As I said, I'm an audio producer, host, and storyteller based in the Washington, D.C.

area. I have another podcast called Wait for it, Spell E I G H H T where we kind of examine

Navigating the world and the plus-size body and what that's like we tell a lot of stories about that so that's the type of work I like to do also like pop culture I talk a lot of stories about that. So that's the type of work I like to do. I also like pop culture. I talk a lot about movies and television and I'm happy to be here talking to creative folks with you Isaac.

Thanks man. It's so I'm so excited to have you on board.

It's going to be a blast.

Yeah, I'm really excited to be here.

So tell me, who was that voice we heard at the top of the episode?

We heard the sagacious voice of the charming and talented Amitava Kumar,

who is both a writer and a professor of writing at Vassar College.
