Care & Feeding | Comebacks For “I’m Bored”


Listen Later

On this episode: Zak, Elizabeth and Jamilah talk about summer boredom. We get questions about this every year — so we’re coming in early this year with some ideas for how to handle that classic, but dreaded, complaint… that no, really, there’s nothing to do. 

And after that, of course, we’re sharing a round of triumphs and fails.
