About this episode
The episode discusses the book 'Homeschooled' by Stefan Merrill Block, focusing on his relationship with his mother and the impact of homeschooling.
This awesome book held my attention in a way that few do. It is a riveting discussion of Stefan's enmeshment with his mom that manifested in homeschooling which was very isolating but allowed his mother to remain in his babyhood forever. Spoilers after the first few minutes... I give you fair warning though. I'm going to have Stefan as a guest soon so listen and read the book before!
