The Lonely Hour #13: Charlotte Druckman's 'A Hoodie Is a Haven' by The Lonely Hour

Alone, Together: Charlotte Druckman

October 12, 2016

It’s our last essay reading in this Lonely Hour mini-series. First, though, a little housekeeping:

As we head into season two in a couple weeks, we’re starting a new Lonely Hour feed on iTunes and Google Play. If you’re already subscribed, you’ll need to re-subscribe to the new feed marked NEW in all caps. That's where all future episodes will go from here on out—plus the one you’re listening to now will disappear in a few weeks, so don’t wait!

Unfortunately, during this switch-over process, we'll lose all your iTunes reviews and rankings. So when you subscribe to the new feed, please take a minute to let us know you love the show—or whatever else you think of it, really. 

Now: hoodies. Writer Charlotte Druckman loves them, so much she wrote an ode to them for our Alone, Together essay series over the summer. Listen to her recite a portion of “A Hoodie Is a Haven” below, and read the rest of it here.
