WINDOW CHATS with ROBYN
The Instagram Live Podcast where Robyn Deverett sits by her window, and chats with very interesting people! Why the name, “Window Chats” you ask? Well I don’t have a balcony, hence my window, and a “chat” seemed less intimidating than “interrogation” 😛⠀ What can you expect? Random conversation/technical glitches/awkward silences and lot of laughs with various guests 🥰⠀
