(When you finish this episode, listen to us solving the mystery of "teenagers" over at The JV Club!)
Few have plumbed the depths of the teenage experience more deeply than Janet Varney. For 11 years, she's interviewed actors, artists, comedians, scientists, and other creative types for her podcast, The JV Club. She's amassed quite a lot of research on such things as when "a late bloomer" is just "a bloomer," and how exactly one goes about becoming an artist (pro-tip: the wandering path may be the best path, or at least the most typical one).
In this episode, we talk to Janet about how The JV Club dominated the market for the journalism of "awkward teen years" and then embark on our latest Journos-as-a-Service mission ...
... answering the age-old question: What, exactly, is a teenager?
Join us at The JV Club as we delve into that sweaty mystery, with hair sprouting in all sorts of strange places.
And! If you have your own question that needs answering, we'd love to do some journalism at you! Hit us up: journos@journos.net.
