Show Notes
Creative conversations rarely go in a straight line.
This week on 5 Random Questions, I chat with independent audio producer and educator Keisha “TK” Dutes. We dive into killer kimonos, advice given with good intentions that can still sting, dream homes, and more.
Funny, strange, and real - just how the best conversations happen. Five unexpected questions, unfiltered answers, no scripts.
If this is your first time here, welcome - this is exactly what the show sounds like.
