You And I Make A Thing
Tune into You And I Make A Thing, where host Thomas Beutel and a guest make something they have never made before. Each episode starts with Thomas and his guest hashing out what they’ll create—be it a collaboration or each working solo toward the same artistic goal. In the latter half, they reflect on their experience of trying something new and conquering the unknown. Experience the power of starting from scratch, overcoming self-doubt, and embarking on a new creative journey. You can reach Thomas on Instagram at @beutelevision.
