Verboten is a silly little word game podcast created and hosted by Jay Borsom (she/her) that combines aspects of Password, Taboo, and Memory. Two teams of two compete through three rounds where the words don't change, but the clues do, because repeating a clue is strictly VERBOTEN. This live recording will feature interactive elements for audience members such as guessing along with contestants, suggesting clues for the final round, and helping add monkey's paw-style amenities to the show's virtual "Isolation Booth". We guarantee the podcast will entertain you in 30 words or less!
