She Dropped A Marketing Career to Pursue Art (w/Alex Berg)

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 08:00:00 -0700

Alex Berg left a stable marketing career to bet on graphic design, right as AI is flipping the creative world upside down. In this episode, Alex breaks down what a career pivot actually takes, what she’d do differently, and why our podcast logo is total garbage.

Throw us a follow and a 5 star review if you're enjoying the podcast (if not, send Dylan a glitter bomb)

Alex Berg is a Bay Area graphic designer, illustrator, and improviser. After years in social media marketing, she pivoted into design, building a freelance client base while earning graphic design and illustration certificates at City College of San Francisco. She works across brand identity, logo systems, and layout-driven design, and performs improv with Secret Improv Society and Required Taste at EndGames Improv.

In this convo we cover:

- The real-world version of career pivoting (money, timing, and “fake it till you make it”)

- Graphic design vs. illustration (and why you don’t need to be a great drawer to design)

- Why AI logos are risky (scaling, vectors vs. pixels, and copyright issues)

- Clients, creative differences, and the #1 word that makes designers cringe: “just”

- Fonts/typefaces, analog design trends, and how culture changes what looks “modern”

How a Dungeons & Dragons Campaign Became a Fantasy Novel (w/ author Barak Engel)

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 08:00:00 -0700

On this episode we’re joined by Bay Area author Barak Engel, who took a Dungeons & Dragons campaign he was running and turned it into a full-blown fantasy novel. Turns out being a great Dungeon Master helps when you decide to write a book (and it also helps that he wrote some other cybersecurity non-fiction books before). We talk about how the world was born at the table, the unexpectedly useful mushroom trip that helped finish the story, his deep love of nerd culture, and naturally, we take some time to bully Dylan for not reading enough.

Check out the book's website: https://thecrackinthecrystal.com/

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 08:00:00 -0700

On this episode, we’re joined by the hilarious Santa Rosa comedian Oliver Graves (often labeled a 'Goth' Comedian for his emo presentation), who famously won the hearts of America from his appearance on America's Got Talent. We chat about Oliver's thoughts on the 'Goth' classification, the behind the scenes of America's Got Talent, and how people usually approach him, as we've never met a more mysterious person.

Casey dives into the history of tap dance, breaks down different styles and techniques, and shares her creative approach to teaching that blends percussion, drumline, and even...math.
