What it is about

Corner Piece starts small on life’s biggest questions. Join Taha, Melissa, and Sabrina (lifelong friends, full-time nerds) as they connect their personal questions to the profound nature of being a person. Using the skills they learned documenting their curiosity on their YouTube channel, Answer in Progress, they start with a day-to-day question or worry, like: Is there a right way to split the bill? Why does it feel so hard to hang out these days? Is romance dead? Then, they launch an investigation. They interview experts, go on side quests, and figure out how much of their problems are caused by the complexity of modern life… and how much is just a part of the human experience. New episodes every other Thursday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
