Welcome to episode two of the Apprentice Dialogues! In this episode, Ariel & Michelle begin to explore creativity and the creative process via their experiences writing master’s theses in Applied Linguistics. An isolating choice in their program, Ariel & Michelle found a way to turn this solitary element of academic culture into a shared experience – which ultimately resulted in this podcast project. 

How did undertaking ambitious research projects influence and transform their everyday habits? Side tangents involve being accountable to their childhood dreams, Ariel’s childhood Star Trek fanfiction, learning multiple Latin languages, and resistance bands / Michelle’s quest to get buff.
