the airing cupboard's extraordinary stories of ordinary people
Because some of us have a thirst for wonder and connection... The airing cupboard podcast is a curation of short true-life stories about those moments of serendipity and convergence, when life shifts a little, never to be the same again. Let Zoé take you into the comfort of her cupboard and tell you a story. You will be led on a journey into the lives of others and be reminded that the everydays are the meaningfuls of life. Indie podcast. Storytelling. Non-commercial project: no ads, no Patreon, no sponsors... only pure pleasure! Just one girl in her cupboard. Monthly…usually…or not:)
