It's the StoryMen Season 8 finale! We go out with a bang, welcoming author Sarah Shin to discuss why being "colorblind" just isn't good enough. We do a deep-dive into what it looks like to seek out cross-cultural friendships without being "that person" who offends and wounds when we're trying to heal.
The StoryMen return with more guests, more projects and of course more arguments over pop culture.
