Yearbook

The producers of the Armchair Expert Umbrella and Chad Sanders present Yearbook. Yearbook is an anthology podcast series in which our respective subject revisits the year that made them ...THEM. Season 1 centers on Chad Sanders (TV and film writer and author of Black Magic) and his journey back to Maryland to re-discover his junior year of high school; a year he believes solidified his identity. This particular year was anchored by two harrowing events- the death of a best friend and a murder at his school. All with a basketball championship in between. This series investigates the ways in which people cement a narrative of themselves early in life that lives into adulthood. It seeks to answer the questions: does our story still serve us and was the story ever real? In returning home and interviewing people from that sacred time and space, answers are found, more questions arise and nostalgia ensues.
