Hello and welcome back to the Cycle Eagle Pop podcast.

This is a podcast where we talk about popular culture through the lens of an attorney and a therapist.

I'm Tess Brigham. I'm the therapist.

And I'm Brooke Brigham. I'm the attorney.

So today we are covering a podcast.

This is a four-part podcast from Tortoise Media called Lucky Boy. And Brooke has,

we're going to give a brief synopsis of the story. And then, but we're mainly going to then talk

about some big themes that come up and so on.

Yeah.

So I found this synopsis.

Interestingly, this is from the, it's called the Indian Express, the new Indian Express,

which I guess is an outlet in India.

But I find it interesting how other cultures and countries, like how they speak about things. This thing, it just kind of caught my attention. Okay. So it's the innocent

time of the 80s. A young attractive chemistry teacher, Ms. Sally Ann Bowen, joins a boy's school. All the 900-plus school

boys are filled with joy, but the 14-year-old Gareth, the pseudonym, becomes the lucky boy.

The teenage schoolboy falls in love with Miss Bowen. Sounds like an underage, lighthearted

school drama, except it's more serious than that.

Tortoise Media's new investigative podcast series Lucky Boys about Gareth, now in his early 50s, remembering his quote-unquote first love, a 27-year-old young flirtatious teacher fancied

by every boy. He still remembers her with some warmth. Boys from this time think of him as the

lucky boy, and so did Gareth. In fact, up until his 40s, he was proud of his first love, but something

triggers this lucky boy who was now the father of a 14-year-old himself. Tortoise's new four-part

podcast series follows the story of him recalling and at times understanding his childhood.
