Society EN ↓ 35 episodes

Instructions Needed! is an audio-only podcast about the moments in life where there’s no clear right answer. Each episode explores a real, anonymous dilemma sent in by listeners — stories about love, family, friendships, boundaries, identity, and the quiet conflicts we don’t always say out loud. There are no experts and no perfect solutions. Just honest conversation, multiple perspectives, and the space to sit with uncertainty. This podcast isn’t here to tell you what to do. It’s here to remind you that you’re not alone in not knowing. New episodes weekly. Anonymous submissions always welcome....
