Summary

BEST SHOW BESTS! This week, we're sharing a classic episode of our Patreon show OUTGROWN, where Julia Vickerman and Tom Scharpling talk to guests about something from popular culture that they used to profoundly identify with and once thought would define them forever and eventually outgrew.

Usually, Outgrown deals with a piece of media someone was into, this is about a show that our guest was a part of. From 1991 to 1999, Taran Smith played Mark Taylor on Home Improvement, and here he talks to Tom & Julia about his experience on the show and the wild turns his life took after.
