Sleepover!

I don’t know about you, but I have no recollection of sleepovers. It’s a lost period of time in my pre-teen life. Poof. Erased.

Producers Hillary Frank and Jonathan Menjivar knock the rust off those memories with Sleepover! It was produced in 2006 for the now defunct Weekend America. And, it’s totally a blast.

On this Saltcast we talk with Hillary and Jonathan about recording pre-teens, co-producing, and the hidden narrative of the sleepover.

Let us know what you think. Okay? Like for reals. Alright?

Best,
Rob

I do have memories of sleepovers. They were pretty much just like this.
