I Record 5 Days a Week... Why Don't I Publish?

Every October we put on costumes, but what about the masks we wear the rest of the year? We dive into the philosophy of everyday masking: it’s not about lying, it's a social survival tool driven by our primal fear of rejection. We explore the high-stakes moment when your different "masks" (the...
