Description

This episode we discuss the acclaimed novel The Giver, written by Lois Lowry, and the 2014 film adaptation directed by Phillip Noyce. This unique book asks what makes life worth living and what are we willing to sacrifice for comfort and stability, and the film asks "what if Meryl Streep were a hologram?" You can imagine we have a lot to discuss this episode, from grown men sledding, to bathing the elderly, and even BMX motocross jumps.... maybe it would just make more sense for you to listen.
