TOUGH COOKIES (Live!) w/Jared Hall & Natalie Miller

It’s a very special LIVE episode of The Corporation, recorded in front of a small but mighty audience at Vermont Comedy Club! Dean is joined first by Teddy Burnbridge, who reflects on teaching schoolchildren about our great meritocracy by performing his autobiographical play for them.

Then, Annette Gelby talks about what it takes to turn shuttered women’s health clinics into businesses that are a little more, shall we say, “baby-positive.”
