Serge Quadrado: Lazy Day

Every day, there are small actions we each take and little decisions we make that set us apart from other people.

Maybe you count the number of yellow cars you see when you're driving.

Or you play audio with voices each night on low volume to get to sleep.

Or you have a thing about parallel lines and right angles, and you place and shift objects accordingly.

Welcome to Atypical - a podcast about the habits, preferences and quirks that make us, us.

Hosted and produced by Evana Ho.

Coming to you from 22 November.
