In this week’s episode, host Anne Helen Petersen speaks with Who? Weekly podcast co-host and author Bobby Finger about what it was like for him growing up in a small town in Texas. Bobby’s debut novel, The Old Place, is fiction – but draws heavily on his own experiences growing up in a town of less than 1,000 people. Plus, we hear from a teen living in a small town now. High school senior Lily Fowler, from Pittsboro, North Carolina, tells us what it’s like to live in a place steeped in family history and how her relationship to her town has evolved.
