Do Dogs have an Appendix with Ed Hose
On this episode of Brunswick Waves, Frank kicks things off with a relatable gripe — when cashiers get way too excited about the items he's buying, sparking conversations he'd rather avoid. Christina schools him on the reason cashiers do that.
Then, Frank and Christina sit down with Brunswick artist Ed Hose, whose colorful, whimsical work can be found all over town.
Ed talks about her creative journey, her belief that EVERYONE has a creative genius living inside them and the fact that she's pretty sure she could perform an appendectomy (just don’t ask her to do any math first).
It's a fun, lively conversation you don't want to miss.
