Coming of Age


Listen Later

"That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong." – F. Scott Fitzgerald

This episode features two stories centred around coming of age; they can be funny, cringey, exciting, and sad, but they always make for important storytelling.
