The troubled teen is a well-worn fixture in television. Usually in tow are their absent, well-meaning but clueless or totally narcissistic parent(s). But what we’ve rarely seen portrayed on TV is the presence of an elder queer caretaker who is rigorous when she needs to be and chill about the small stuff. Quite fortunately, the Generation crew is graced with the presence of Ana, Greta’s fabulous tia. In episode 11 of the HBO Max original series, she not only hooks up Riley with a job that will help her escape the confines of her parents, but she steps in and says maybe the only words that Riley really needs to hear. So it’s only right that on the eleventh episode of Generation: The Podcast, hosts Gigi Goode & Whembley Sewell get a deeper take on Ana with the actress who portrays her, Nava Mau, and Generation co-creator Zelda Barnz.
