ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Before We Cheers is a podcast about the moments before celebration—the breath before the toast, the text you almost sent, the version of you still deciding if it belongs. Join Zach Miller as he explores identity, memory, reinvention, taste, and emotional truth through solo episodes, guest interviews, and cultural commentary. It’s not about spiraling—it’s about noticing the quiet stuff before the loud moments. If you’ve ever cried in the Uber, reconsidered your aesthetic, or saved a voice memo you never sent, this is for you. Before the performance, there’s a pause. And Before we cheers.
