2025 Update: Leif + A Conversation with Anna Konkle
Notas do episódio
For our penultimate Heavyweight encore, we’re joined by Pen15 co-creator Anna Konkle to revisit last season’s junior high drama — #53: Leif.
On Valentine’s Day in junior high, Leif was supposed to ask Kalila out. But he never did. Leif’s lack of action that day impacted Kalila’s life to come. And so seventeen years later, she wants to know: what happened.
For more, head over to Pushkin+, where you can subscribe to hear an extended cut of Kalila’s conversation with Anna.
