Summary
Creative Director Xiaowei Wang returns for our season finale!
We talk union solidarity, life in a time of crisis, and our upcoming class on tarot and writing with The Shipman Agency. Dorothy breaks out the Modus Operandi Deck for a confessional tell-all with the three hosts that touches on what we can’t let go of, the value of money, the role models and safety we wish we had when we were younger, and why we have a grudge on Timothée Chalamet.
Five and Nine Season 2 is about transitions. As falls sets in in the northern hemisphere and spring in the south, Five and Nine looks at change in all its forms — leaving jobs, changing industries, starting new paths, and the wisdom that tarot and magic have to offer in a world that seems to be ever in flux.
This is the Season 2 Finale. Paid subscribers will begin to receive our paid programming shortly. Our podcast returns in winter 2023!
