vera kuznetsova - part two, episode three

lowercase sober

Join me and Vera Kuznetsova for the third episode of Part Two, as Vera answers some of the questions about drinking that I asked myself when I was writing Part One. Vera opens up in a really lovely way and I truly cherish our conversation. Content warning for this episode - we do discuss blacking out and alcohol in a positive light so if those are topics you are sensitive to, please use discretion when listening to this episode!

lowercase sober is a limited series podcast by Izzi D'Esposito. it's about Izzi navigating sobriety in her 20's after she stopped drinking because of a health issue. she is still in her 20's. she still doesn't know what she's doing. (now with friends!)

Written, recorded and edited by Izzi D'Esposito; Music also by Izzi D’Esposito
