The Good Bad Date Story

Things Unsaid

Betty, a lifelong friend of Chelsey's, had her son while she was in high school. But during their ten-year friendship, Betty and Chelsey never really talked about Betty's experiences being a single mom. Chelsey wondered how such big topics can go unsaid during a long-term friendship. In this episode, the pair discuss navigating school while being a parent, Betty’s current long-distance relationship, and why it’s so hard to be open, even with the friends you’ve known the longest. ----- Music credit: 1.

The Good Bad Date Story

What’s the worst date you’ve ever been on? Host Chelsey Zhu asks college students across the country to share their bad date stories, investigates why we love to tell them, and hypothesizes about what these stories do for us. The stories she heard—ranging from funny to scary—were surprising. Why do we tell these stories? Who are they for? Could the bad date story be a new literary genre? -------- Music credits  1.
