Swamped: What Experts Do When They No Longer Know What to Do
Hosted by Joshua Moses, Swamped is a new podcast series that tells the stories of people who find themselves in overwhelming situations. Where their knowledge, skills, and training are stretched beyond their limits. During this era of persistently unsettling certainty Swamped documents stories of people struggling against immense odds, sometimes foundering, always changing.
Swamped asks: What do you do when you no longer know what to do? What did you learn from these experiences? And what would you share with others who find themselves similarly in over their heads?
