V: Swallow First: Table Manners

Sometimes what could have been an 8-second event…isn’t.

Through a series of introspective observations, this micro-podcast explores the small, everyday moments that unravel the second you look at them too closely — the ones that should be simple.

Hosted by Elissa, who has a tendency to overthink things…on purpose.
