Don't Listen To Us with Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody

What happens when Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody hit the streets of New York City looking for your questions? Will anyone ask us for advice? It’s our episode with no script and no idea who’s going to walk up next. After a string of rejections, we land in Central Park and find strangers willing to open up about their worries, life questions and relatable problems. How to stay connected to family from far away? How to balance career ambitions with the rest of life? What does it look like to raise teens who want to spend time with you as adults? How do you deal with anxiety and take big leaps outside of your comfort zone? Plus, Mandy meets a real-life Odin, and Kathryn and Mandy reveal what they wish they’d known as teens.
