12:20Get Mortified

It sounds like the stuff of nightmares: standing in public, divulging our adolescent secrets in front of a live audience. But it's the basic concept behind Mortified, a comic project that explores the universal truths of adolescence through readings of the "gems" we wrote when we were younger. We learn more about the project and its D.C. debut.

Guests

David Nadelberg, Founder, Mortified

Sarah Grace McCandless, Co-Producer, Mortified D.C.

13:06The Odyssey Years

In 1960, some seventy percent of thirty years olds were married, financially independent, and starting a family. In 2000, less than forty percent of thirty year olds had done so. Join Kojo as we explore that generational shift and what the social trend of "delaying adulthood" means for individuals and society.

Guests
