On the second episode of Passing the Mantle, Larry and Desmond go back to their teenage years to discuss their formative time in high school.

Larry went to Hollywood High’s alternative school in the 70s, and Desmond attended the Polytechnic School in Pasadena until 2019 — and their experiences were very different. So we want to hear from you: What about your parents’ or child’s experience in high school surprised you? Are you glad you went to school when you did, or do you feel like you would’ve had a more fitting experience in another time? Call 866-893-5722 or email atcomments@laist.com. Desmond joins Larry to preview this week’s podcast episode and talk about what made their high school experiences so unique.
