What happens when you hand a stranger the mic and ask them to be honest? The Table Is Yours is a human interest podcast where host J.D. Murgolo sits down with everyday people in cafés and coffee shops to uncover the unscripted, unfiltered stories that rarely get told. Because the most extraordinary stories don't belong to the famous. They belong to the people sitting right next to you.
