Open Tabs
Open Tabs is a podcast about whatever I can’t stop thinking about that week. Sometimes it’s pop culture. Sometimes it’s politics. Sometimes it’s a book, a movie, a personal story, or a random spiral that refuses to close. There’s no niche — just curiosity, commentary, and thoughts that deserve a microphone.
