Down to a T
Hosted by Thatiana Diaz (T), comes an unfiltered and culturally relevant podcast that aims to entertain and take listeners away from the often serious online landscape. Dive into the world of internet culture and hot topics as we ditch the dull Q&A format for a vibrant, off-the-cuff exchange with weekly guests.
