We are the Sweating Palms podcast. We have decided to embrace our awkward existence, sense of humor, and cackling laughs to bring forth a podcast that explores humanity through vulnerability and humor. The goal of this podcast is to bring people together through stories that will make your palms sweat. Cringe-worthy mishaps, embarrassing moments, falling in love, true crime, ghost stories... if it makes our palms sweat, it's game on.
