I can't believe...
I Can't Believe... is a micro podcast about the moments that you reflect on and think..."I can't believe that happened; he did what; she said whaaaat?..." The moments that are somehow both devastating and absurd. Through the lens of experience, we view these moments through newfound perspective. Hosted by Tameka, each episode is a short, sharp personal essay drawn from a life lived with eyes wide open. No guests or advice or guides. Just stories rooted in truth. Built for people who aren't afraid to look at their life differently and respond with a simple...I can't believe.
New episodes drop every week. About 15 minutes long and worth every minute spent!
