Show Notes: S04, E08 - Will I Ever Stick Up for Myself?
This week, we're helping pickles believe in themselves in the workplace, in confrontations, and in their ability to listen to verbal diarrhoea; and all with the help of Pixar, Katy Perry, and Cormac McCarthy.
Here's all the art we recommended.
(Art we only mentioned in passing, and never intended as a problem-solving recommendation, is in italics.)
Underlined items are this week's top picks from each of our presenters. If you're only going to try one of the pieces of art we mentioned, try these ones first.
