This week on ‘Work Hates’ we talk to internationally acclaimed DJ Gabrielle who is not only a brilliant musician, but also a social worker who changes kids’ lives. She is toxically optimistic (self-described), so this may very well be the first uplifting episode we have ever done. We loved hearing about Gabe’s experiences with blending both of her passions to create an artistic outlet for disenfranchised youths almost as much as we...

On this episode of ‘Work Hates’, we chat to our dear friend and fellow comedian, Nick Capper. We mean this when we say this is going to be the first of many episodes we will have this lunatic on because his employment history is the most mental you’ll ever hear of.
