Who Sets This Clock? is a podcast about timelines, external influences, and the often unspoken pressure to follow a life path that includes kids and other milestones. Hosted by Margarete, the show asks: who actually set these clocks we’re all supposed to follow? And are they ticking the same for everyone anymore? You know, just your average existential questions. Through honest, sometimes funny, and often vulnerable conversations, each episode explores life transitions, the choices we make (or don't), and the relationships that shift along the way.
