About This Podcast
THRD Place Pod is where life happens—in the space between ‘should’ and ‘should not,’ between connection and division, between what we’re told and what we discover for ourselves. We’re after that secret third thing—the nuance, the gray area, the unexpected perspectives that bring our communities to life. If you love real conversations, unexpected insights, and connecting with people who are figuring it out just like you, THRD Place Pod is where you want to be. Join us in the space in between.
