Have you ever loved someone so much it may you die? Daisy has, and she is torn. Torn between two boys, Jack and Max, and between two villages, Farm and Computer. Choice is difficult, but with a self-proclaimed "fiery take-on-the-world side," she may just have a chance. Young Adult Novel is a comedic audio drama written and performed by Ben and Bethany Fort.

Ben talks with his friend Saria, a native Syrian who lives in Texas as an asylum seeker. He shares about growing up in Damascus, why his family left, and how many people he knows that fight for ISIS (0).

Ben talks to Jason Gallagher about the different layers of the Basketball Internet, his experience at Grantland, and what it means to "pay your dues" as an NBA fanbase. Also maybe a couple songs from The Lockout: A Musical, which we wrote together back in the day.
