A touching series that makes the most of podcasting's ability to explore the universal experiences we just don't usually talk about.

On Hold sees host Katy Davis reflecting on her and her guests' experiences of waiting, anticipation and delayed gratification. From coming out in your sixties to interminable medical waiting lists, the feeling of being "on hold" can evoke such specific emotions.

Spanning genres of narrative, interview and documentary, Davis compiles compelling stories from around the world that are all tied together by a common thread.
