Late in 88

Part 1: What If We Were Friends?


Listen Later

How much can you remember from your childhood? Say, when you were eight years old? It may be a bit fuzzy, but this is where we meet the hosts of Late in 88, Bronwin Parks and Elinor Svoboda. They travel back to grade four; a time when they both identified as tomboys but never really understood where they belonged. Through discussing their shared challenges surrounding gender identity and queerness, they arrive at the question: what if they would have been friends? Would it have made a difference? They take turns recalling the pertinent moments of these formative years and invite old classmates, Kate, Amanda, Shalini, and Dave, to join the conversation.
