Molly Ringwald hosted an evening of storytelling for The Mothat this year’s RadioLoveFestat BAM in Brooklyn. Don’t Look Back: Stories from the Teenage Years featured tales of adolescent anguish, and there was no better master of ceremonies imaginable than everyone’s favorite (former) teenager.
After the show, I caught up with Molly backstage at BAM’s Harvey Theater to find out more about her favorite public radio and podcasts. We also determined whether she can spell “Abumrad” and what podcasts her Breakfast Club cohort would listen to if they were teenagers in 2015 instead of 1985.
