About this listen

In their continuing father-son field trip to end all field trips, writer (and one-time Jeopardy! champ) Neal Pollack and his teenage son set out to explore the many topics not covered in his high school curriculum. Among them: what really constitutes a healthy lunch, why dress codes exist, and how the largely phased-out "home ec" class can be beneficial.

When you add Extra Credit, Season 2 to your library you will receive all 10 episodes, each with a runtime of approximately 20 minutes.
