Ramshackle United

In episode three of Ramshackle United, we sit down with Jodi Lynn Burton — full-time artist and illustrator, in her charming retail studio Jodi Lynn's Emporium of Doodles in downtown Berkley.

In episode two of Ramshackle United, we sit down with Jason Klamm — author, voice actor, sketch comedian, filmmaker, podcaster, historian… Almost an hour of fun stories… and a hilarious impromptu voice-over treat.

In episode one of Ramshackle United, we sit down with Katie Dehn, co-host of the Berkley Silent Book Club, for a conversation that covers everything from her origin story to her community engagement, and the benefits of reading in public.

In this episode, Nick introduces the Ramshackle United community anthem - a song written for everyone who's barely holding it together but showing up anyway. It's for the Average Joes and Jolenes, the people with mortgages and car payments. The ones who come from completely different backgrounds and somehow end up in the same stadium.

Welcome to Ramshackle United! Ramshackle describes our current sense of community after decades of divisive politics. We are barely being held together. We are rickety. We are shaky.
