Ah…to be young and stupid again. This week our guests share embarrassing tales from their youth, telling stories about foolish behavior that can be chalked up to a combination of inexperience and ignorance. Huffing film cleaner, shoplifting cheap wine, botching a major label record deal, and disobeying traffic laws are just some of the tales told on this episode of the Nest of Vipers.

Our guests include:

Michael W. Dean is the author of the books $30 Film School, $30 Music School, $30 Writing School, and Starving in the Company of Beautiful Women. He directed the films D.I.Y.

Becky Haycox marches to her own homemade drum. A member of various creative communities, she uses more than her fair share of hyphens as crafter-blogger-actor-partygirl-teacher-designer-geek. However, she does not know the definition of turpitude. Her eclectic musings can be found http://www.beckyhaycox.com/hamblog.
