#28 Lauren Castillo – NANA IN THE CITY Unraveled

September 7, 2016 by Travis Jonker   Leave a Comment

Nana

Travis: In the latest episode, Lauren Castillo talks about her book Nana in the City. We recorded this interview at Western High School in Parma, Michigan (the site of Nerd Camp) back in July.

Here was the scene:

Prince

(and a fine collection of vinyl)

To the episode!
