Field Notes by Jamie
by Jamie
This show was created to talk about my observations about the world as I navigate it for the first time, with emphasis on topics that a silly, thoughtful, open-minded and overwhelmed twenty-something (such as myself) might be thinking about today, and what to make of it all. I'm talking about the environment, philosophy, music, things on my mind, the purpose of life, the impacts of social media, the human experience... It gets deep, weird, & goofy!
