S3.E6. Puppies & Divorce: The 3rd Annual Holiday Episode

Written By Alison Cebulla

We asked our listeners for their holiday stories! We received five listener-submitted stories about latchkey, awkward, painful, neglectful, or loving family holiday stories—some funny, some sentimental. Join hosts Anne and Alison with guest cohost Kyle Kimball, refugee lawyer, and our guest from Season 2's popular episode: When Gifted Kids Wake Up to Their Trauma.

  • Ambrosia salad - from Carey Sipp’s story
