What’s the truth about being a young parent? That’s the question the Adult ISH team asks this week, and folks with direct experience answer.

Through perspectives from young adults raised by young parents, and conversations with young parents themselves, we are digging beyond the stereotypes that media like “16 and Pregnant” call to mind. Instead, Adult ISH is talking about what it’s like to parent as you continue the journey of growing up yourself.

In this special crossover episode of Adult ISH, the team is joining forces with KQED’s “Rightnowish” podcast. Together, we’re figuring out our collective ISH.

Pendarvis Harshaw is the host of “Rightnowish,” an arts and culture columnist at KQED in Northern California, and a YR alum. He’s also the author of “OG Told Me,” a memoir about his experiences growing up in Oakland and learning from community elders. 

Before this episode, host Nyge Turner and Pendarvis had only met once. They never got a chance to truly connect. But it turns out the two have a lot in common. Something that’s been on both of their minds lately is friendships, specifically their evolution over time. This week, tune in to their unscripted conversation on this subject for double the host power, and double the advice.
