Ep. 434 Traci Turns 40 with Rachel Lindsay, Sam Sanders, Becca Tobin, and Kiese Laymon

Today on The Stacks, we’re celebrating Traci’s 40th birthday! That’s right, it’s her actual birthday today, and she’s invited her friends—media personality and Higher Learning co-host Rachel Lindsay, award-winning journalist and podcast host Sam Sanders, actress, podcaster, and author Becca Tobin, and bestselling author Kiese Laymon—to put her in the hot seat and ask all their burning questions.

They interview her about everything from her biggest regrets to her goals for the next decade and all her feelings about turning forty. Our book club pick for July is Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo.

We will be discussing the book with Julianna Haubner on Wednesday, July 29th.
