Last weeks installment of This American Life had a fabulous piece by David Rakoff called Martha My Dear. Rakoff visits his dream job in the crafts department at Martha Stewart Living magazine. He wonders (as i occasionally do) if his hobby became his job, would it still be fun?

He says, “On some level me giving someone something I’ve made is almost the equivalent of your fitness nut friend coming into your living room dropping and giving you 25 and then shouthing HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Who’s really gotten the gift in a transaction like that. You tell me. ”

If you make things- listen to it. If you dont- listen to it. Its only 11 minutes.
