This Is So Awkward

Nick Kroll, comedian, actor and Big Mouth creator, sits down with Vanessa Kroll Bennett (his sister) and Dr. Cara Natterson for an honest conversation about what life was like as someone late to the puberty party. The episode is not quite as hilarious (or dirty) as Big Mouth but just as authentic. Nick offers a window into how being a late bloomer affected him in good and hard ways throughout the course of his life. Show Notes: Nick Kroll Bio Uncertain Parenting interview with Dr. Molly Colvin Big Mouth on Netflix More information on late bloomers: Decoding Boys by Cara Natterson, Chapter 4  Produced by Dear Media Learn more about your ad choices.
