Description

By failing to get this episode out on time, did we succeed? We'd like to think so. It's time to talk about "The F Word," this week on Morgendorks! When Mr. O'Neill assigns his class to purposefully fail at something, it throws everything into disarray. Brittany's unpopular! Kevin sucks at sports! Jane's a ... cheerleader? This one waits two acts before going off the rails entirely.
And for cultural context, we talk about the risk-averse (or is it risk-aware?) behavior of the Millennial generation. Is it that they don't want to embrace failure, or is it that they have so little margin for error they can't fathom taking that kind of chance?

We're engaging in that proud Millennial tradition of nostalgia podcasting by taking an in-depth look at Daria, the iconic MTV cartoon that aired from 1997 to 2002. Whether you're a long-time fan of the show (like host Rob Press) or a relative newcomer (like host Nissa Lee), join us every two weeks as we explore the cynical, sarcastic, still-very-resonant world of our favorite animated teenage misanthrope.
