One Seat Over hopes to provide a platform for various Yale voices to share what makes their experiences unique and build a campus community of greater understanding. Every episode, four storytellers will share their experiences on a common theme: some happy, sad and some somewhere in between. Who knows? Maybe you’ll learn a little more about one of your own classmates. Maybe you'll share a story yourself!! Send your story pitches to oneseatoverpod@gmail.com
