In this episode, About a Boy, we explore life through the lens of boys. These stories illustrate four unique journeys that are united in discovery: a strong father's soft voice helps his son overcome a challenge, a 10-year old undertakes a heroic act to save the day, a 6-year old boy takes refuge in his imagination to avoid the sadness and uncertainty around him, a bewildered mother seeks to understand her son’s unempathetic ways. Join our four storytellers as they share their truths About a Boy.

Stories by: Skyler Braeden Fox, Mike Trupiano, Sherzod Gafar, Dyane Neiman.

Skyler Braeden Fox
has a long tradition of oral storytelling in his family. His grandfather and father told construction site stories around the dinner table and his dad let Skyler and his siblings choose the plot basis and character names in his made-up bedtime stories. It was only natural that Skyler was drawn to the art of storytelling, first as a journalist, and later as a rapper and a film maker. The medium doesn‘t really matter to him. It‘s the unravelling of the story that he loves.
