Siblings

Hosted by Nadia Halim with Vanessa Lehan Dylan Rotsztain

“We always have each other’s back. It’s the defining feature of our relationship.”

Daniel is the youngest of three kids; Vanessa’s a middle child from a large, blended family. We talk about how older siblings mold the younger ones’ tastes and ambitions, how sometimes staying good friends with your siblings as adults means setting some boundaries, and how the one thing that always brings you and your brothers and sisters together is making fun of your parents.
