Today we welcome in one of my favorite humans in the universe – and I know you may be thinking I say that a lot, but I’ve known Ali Simmons for just twenty years and she is one of the best friends a person could ask for. Recently venturing into the world of art and graphic design, Ali joins us today to talk video games, 90s infomercials, and fan art. She gifted us with a wonderful piece of art that you can find on our socials right now! Chef’s kiss…

As she has recently launched her own business which you can find on Instagram at pluvialart. If you are wondering what that might mean, pluvial is an adjective referring to something of or relating to rain, especially much rain, or rainy. Being born in the Pacific Northwest, it felt only natural to adopt said moniker. You can also check out her art at pluvialart.com/shop. Links will be in the description.

Make sure you stick around til the end of the episode where you can hear the song Bouquet Grey by artist Secret Crush – one of Rob’s many collaborative efforts, and one of my favorite jams.
