The episode of The Grandpodcast features an interview with three teenagers about their relationships with their parents. We talk about what they call them, about their earliest recollections, about what talents or hobbies they inherited from them, and more. It's a delightful interview with three amazing kids!

I also offer a brief book review and some of the amazing things I learned from Mitch Albom's new book, Finding Chika. It's a AMAZING book.

Finally, we take a listen to my first voice message left by a listener. I was very surprise about where it came from!

I hope you enjoy!
