Please, Let’s Make It ‘Awkward’ (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Awkward has become a kind of buzzword in popular culture these days. We say “awkward!” and everybody gets it.

The paralyzing fear. The real awkwardness of everyday life. My guest Ty Tashiro says it’s also a gift. This hour On Point, navigating life – and interesting payoffs – for the socially awkward. — Tom Ashbrook
