While the show borrows some of the tried-and-true production elements from TAL (music beds that enhance the narrative with far more hip-hop), it focuses more on stories about the moments when people are forced to make decisions (or not) that will change their lives irrevocably.

You can download the podcast above by right-clicking on the blue link or you can stream it by clicking the play button. Enjoy and tune in next Saturday at 1 p.m. for the second episode. We’ll air three more episodes in February. Snap Judgment will go into full production later this Spring and your feedback will help us decide if we want to carry it full-time.
