This is for entertainment only and is not to be confused with medical advice. Slight content warning as I swear a little bit. This episode is a conversation I had with a friend of mine, Jeremy Nordstrom, who worked as a set dresser on The Last of Us Season 1. We talked about what his experiences were, how he got his job, some fun extras he put in, how he asked me for help in creating materials for the sets, some future projects he's working on, and a whole lot of other things. Here’s a link to a couple photos we mention in the show. Follow me:https://www.tierahruinsthings.com/ https://www.facebook.com/tierahruinsthingswithscience/ https://www.tiktok.com/@tierahruinsthingspodcast https://www.instagram.com/tierahruinsthingspodcast/ Send in your show suggestions to tierahruinsthings@gmail.com Research, writing, recording, and editing done by Tierah HinchliffeMusic written and provided by James Stratton-Crawley, who also helped with editing.Links to his channels are here:https://soundcloud.com/jscrawley https://open.spotify.com/artist/2EymoLkbTY4m4vg6M97BWq https://jscrawley.com/  Get full access to Tierah Ruins Things With Science at tierahruinsthings.substack.com/subscribe
