Dan Sinker/now

I always have a lot going on, here's what I'm doing now:

I'm writing I HATE THOSE MASKED BASTARDS! for Haymarket Books

while hosting and producing the weekly podcast Says Who

and producing season two of the award-winning Rebel Spirit podcast …

and helping run the Civic Media Fellowships at USC …

and printing and shipping whistles (... & counting) all over the country with a crew of awesome people

and shipping merch I make for you …

and also making stickers for the Says Who Sticker Club

and OK that's enough.
