From Our Friends: How To Face the Future (Gen Z Edition)

We're off this Monday for the holiday but didn't want to leave you empty-eared — so here's an episode of [How To!] (https://slate.com/podcasts/how-to/2024/11/how-to-make-your-life-meaningful) starring our friend Carvell Wallace's son. We'll be back with you Thursday for a new episode. Ezra is adrift in his early 20s. He craves a life of meaning, community, and love. But he’s struggling to find those things in a world that seems increasingly uncertain and discouraging for young people.

My Kid Suddenly Refuses to Fly

On this episode: Lucy, Zak, and Elizabeth take flight. Our listener’s kid has suddenly decided – or realized – he’s afraid of airplanes and heights.

I Hate My Kid’s Friend

On this episode: Zak, Elizabeth and Jamilah help a listener who emailed us wondering how to break up a friendship. Her son is friends with an obnoxious girl who the parent would just rather not see. But, of course, friendships are complicated… and this might not be as easy as just not inviting this girl over. We’ll also check in on where the hosts are this week – and then, if you’re coming to hang out on the Slate Plus Playground, the hosts are listening back to their 2024 resolutions and deciding if it truly was the year of “meh.” If you’re not part of the Slate Plus community, we hope you’ll consider joining!
