No, You May Not: A Podcast About Working in the Service Industry

“No, You May Not” was born after what was initially supposed to be a five minute exercise in podcasting was accompanied with a bottle of wine and an axe to grind with the Karens, Debbies, Chads, and Keiths of the world. Ninety minutes later, we had our podcast. (Actually, that’s not entirely true. We needed to go back and re-record something reasonably shorter for handing in.)
