About this listen

Ever get the feeling that not everything is cool with school? Best-selling author Neal Pollack is dissatisfied with what his teenage son, Elijah, is learning in his studies. Neal wants to fill in the gaps, while Elijah just wants him to chill out a little. Together, they embark on the father-son field trip of a lifetime, which includes stops in New York's poetry-slam scene, a medical-marijuana dispensary, and a convention to discuss evolution with 1,700 biologists.

When you add Extra Credit to your library you will receive all 10 episodes, each with a runtime of approximately 20 minutes.
