This is for entertainment only and is not to be confused with medical advice. Slight content warning as I swear a little bit.   This episode is a conversation I had with a friend of mine, Jeremy Nordstrom, who worked as a set dresser on The Last of Us Season 1. We talked about what his experiences were, how he got his job, some fun extras he put in, how he asked me for help in creating materials for the sets, some future projects he's working on, and a whole lot of other things.   Here’s a link to a couple photos we mention in the show.   Follow me: https://www.tierahruinsthings.com/ https://www.facebook.com/tierahruinsthingswithscience/ https://www.tiktok.com/@tierahruinsthingspodcast https://www.instagram.com/tierahruinsthingspodcast/ Send in your show suggestions to [email protected] Research, writing, recording, and editing done by Tierah Hinchliffe Music written and provided by James Stratton-Crawley, who also helped with editing.
