10: The Neverending Story

My friend Chael (@NarratorChael) is back to discuss one of her favorite books from her tweenage years: Michael Ende's THE NEVERENDING STORY. Written by a man whose artist father was literally persecuted for being degenerate by the Nazis, THE NEVERENDING STORY is a beautiful consideration on depression and passion and what it means to be a child in a world that really seems to hate children. Make sure to subscribe to get the second installment on THE NEVERENDING STORY next week!Chael's other work includes the podcasts Once Upon a Rewatch (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/once-upon-a-rewatch/id1553803675) and Vampires Ruined My Life (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vampires-ruined-my-life/id1584585139).More ways to enjoy FBOL & Emily J.
