The Teen Collective with Alex Dawson & Al Newling | 019

Alex Dawson (they/them) and Al Newling (any pronouns) are writers, actors, official founding members of the Teen Collective, and definitely not sculptors. I’m super glad I got to have a chaotic video call with these two and learn about what it’s like to be a teenager writing cool queer stories in 2022. 

In this episode: writing authentic stories, the best myths, teachers who are good at what they teach, Miss Congeniality, secret interests, and the worst way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
