Episode Synopsis

On That 30s Show, we love exploring the ups and downs of life in our 30s, and to give an authentic voice to a diversity of lived experiences. While Ge is away this week, David sits down for a one-on-one conversation with his cousin, Callan Parker, who recently turned 30! While many of us have experienced or witnessed this familiar milestone, what does turning 30 look and feel like to someone with Down syndrome? We're excited to have the opportunity to explore this question with Callan this week, adding another dimension to understanding how this decade brings unique challenges to different people.
Technical note: This was our first time recording an in-person interview, and for the comfort of our guest and also practical reasons, this episode is audio-only. We hope it sounds good, but we did notice some minor anomalies in the last few minutes of the recording.
