Summary

A caller tells me how selling drugs for his father while he was a minor resulted in him spending time in a state prison, and how he’s been able to turn his life around and dedicate himself to being a father at 30. Afterwards I talk to a musician who questions if he gave up his childhood to become a rock star and a final caller debates the pros and cons of art school debt. Does this bug bite look infected? I am a gecko.
