Waiting Room
The non-descript anonymity of a waiting room can be a melancholy experience, even more so if you find yourself there frequently. Erin Shea’s “Waiting Room” faces the stale gray of these liminal spaces head on, following the protagonist’s internal journey during the course of one doctor’s appointment. Along the way? The Price is Right, Selena Gomez, and the psychological struggles of chronic illness.

Customer Reviews
erica wagner is pretty awesome
If you like to read, are curious about the people who write the things you like reading, then this is the perfect podcast for you. The host, Erica Wagner, is insightful and easy to listen to (and an expert in her craft, which shows). Great find for some wisdom and insight into what makes a great story, narrative choices and the creative process. looking forward to the next ep
Great community insight
Love having another way to tap into Vocal’s community and get real life stories from people in all walks of life. Great way to start my day!
My new favorite
I really like the format for Vocal content, it enhances the voices of creators whose stories I already enjoyed reading on the Vocal app. The host is warm and the conversations are intimate. The variety of topics are interesting and the episodes are very engaging.
