We’re launching a podcast!

It's time for another #SUBTLEpuzzle!
This time, we chose one of the clever puns from "Severance". A "break room" is normally a designated area in a workplace where employees can go for a short period of rest or refreshment. In the show, however, it is used to break them mentally.
