The 280 is a platform for anonymous individuals to voice their experiences and concerns, regardless of what they may be, and separate themselves from the pack. In these boundary-less conversations, host Carson Buller explores the nooks and crannies of anonymous minds, while diving headfirst into rabbit holes along the way.
