Title: Clam Down Author: Anelise Chen Narrator: Anelise Chen Format: mp3 Length: 9 hrs and 38 mins Release date: 06-03-25 Ratings: Not rated yet Genres: Nature & Ecology Publisher's Summary: We’ve all heard the story about waking up as a cockroach—but what if a crisis turned you into a clam? After the dissolution of her marriage, a writer is transformed into a “clam” via typo after her mother keeps texting her to “clam down.” The funny if unhelpful command forces her to ask what it means to “clam down”—to retreat, hide, close up, and stay silent. Idiomatically, we are said to “clam up” when we can’t speak, and to “come out of our shell” when we reemerge, transformed.
