#21 This episode's guest is journalist, editor, culture critic, and essayist Nico Lang!

Nico is the author of the upcoming American Teenager: How Trans Kids are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era, which comes out on October 8th. I cannot WAIT to read it.

📖 the value of trying
📖 THEIR BOOK!
