How to Become an Adult by Andy Boyle
This week on Update, we spoke to Andy Boyle, author of Adult Beginners: All the Secrets of Life that no one bothered to tell you . Dulthood for Beginners is a fun book filled with life advice on everything from dating to job hunting to not looking dumb at all. Andy is also a comedian, web developer and speaker, as well as the owner of a furry cat named Tiberius. He joined us in the studio to talk about everything he wanted to know as a young man.
