No Cap with Britt
by Brittany Henze
Hi everyone, my name is Britt. I'm a visual artist living and working in Oakland. A big part of my life is sobriety, and what life looks like as a result. A quick explanation of the title: "No Cap" means "no B.S." Personally, I can get impatient with small talk. Sobriety demands rigorous honesty, and I really value that in myself and others. I want to KNOW people. So, the purpose of this podcast is to shine a light on my immediate community (Bay Area) and talk about things that matter to them, and what shaped them as individuals. There's also an interactive element called "Ask it Basket".
