Mindy Kaling's newest show... and other banter

In the first episode of “Banter by the Bay,” Achona’s new pop culture podcast, Editor-in-Chief Chloe Mintz and Managing Editors Raquelle Elson and Isabel Bequer discuss coming-of-age shows and their impacts on viewers. In comparing the relatable and realistic nature of shows set in college with those set in high school, like the “Gossip Girl” reboot, the trio analyzes the choices made in writing these shows and how well they can convey the coming-of-age experience to their traditionally younger demographic.
