#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.

We talk about:
📖 Nico's Avengers origin story (hint: lots of fan fiction)
📖 the need for queer stories
📖 heart-wrenching and beautiful trans teen stories
📖 unsettling endings (like that f*cking Sopranos ending)
📖 the value of trying
📖 THEIR BOOK!

You can find Nico on Instagram @queernewsdaily and pre-order their book before October 8 here.
