While you wait for more Adult ISH, we’re gifting you a special treat – an episode of the podcast Snooze, from our friends at LAist Studios. When her father has a medical emergency, host Megan Tan takes a last minute trip to Ohio. This leads her on a journey of self-discovery to learn what she's been snoozing on herself. Support for Snooze is made possible by Gordon and Dona Crawford, who believe that quality journalism makes Los Angeles a better place to live. This program is made possible in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation funded by the American people. Tune in Thursday, Nov. 10th for the next episode of Adult ISH, from YR Media and Radiotopia.
