About the Show

Snooze is a show about things people put off, how they conquer them, but most importantly, how they conquer themselves.

In each episode, host Megan Tan, the Snooze Squad and guest celebrities will strategize an action plan for people like you and me to face our fears. Guests will transform their own perception of their potential and walk away a few inches closer to who they want to become.

This new podcast from LAist Studios will inspire you to ask yourself what you have been pressing snooze on, and inspire you to become the protagonist of your own life.

Released May 2, 2022

Support for this podcast is made possible by Gordon and Dona Crawford, who believe that quality journalism makes Los Angeles a better place to live.
