The term refers to a brief, communal break for coffee or tea, fostering a sense of community and relaxation. Hosted by Bristol Bay Native Corporation's communications team, the podcast serves as a virtual "mug up," featuring conversations with BBNC employees, community leaders, and others devoted to BBNC's mission of "Enriching our Native way of life." The series aims to captivate, enlighten, and inspire its listeners.
