Sounds Like Summer

S3 E4 / 26m 59s / TV-PG

In honor of the season, tales of joy and disaster under the summer sun. Caroline becomes a Pilgrim and finds herself curious about the lives of its tourists; Colin battles his fear of sharks with scuba diving lessons; as a Peace Corps volunteer, Theresa breaks the rules to go on a rafting adventure. Three storytellers, three interpretations of SOUNDS LIKE SUMMER, hosted by Theresa Okokon.

Now or Never

S3 E3 / 26m 59s / TV-PG

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to say yes more often? Tom whips out his wallet for a midlife crisis kind of splurge; Adam volunteers as a human shield in the West Bank to experience the other side of the checkpoint; and determined to beat her disease, Karen Mae takes a spontaneous, ill-advised trip. Three storytellers, three interpretations of NOW OR NEVER, hosted by Theresa Okokon.

What We Wear

S3 E2 / 26m 59s / TV-PG

Putting on, or taking something off, is not about the clothes itself but how they represent who you are. Nina takes a leap and joins NYC's No Pants Subway Ride; as a new immigrant, Sufian learns that culture shock extends even to footwear; and after her son finds an expensive necklace, Isabel faces a moral dilemma. Three storytellers, three interpretations of WHAT WE WEAR, hosted by Wes Hazard.

Summertime

S3 E1 / 26m 59s / TV-PG

Sunny days and balmy nights...moments when anything was possible. Khalilah goes to camp for the first time and learns more than just campfire songs; when a vacation takes a dangerous turn, Martha is surprised by her mom’s courageous act; and as a kid, Ajay discovers baseball and its magical connection to the divine. Three storytellers, three interpretations of SUMMERTIME, hosted by Theresa Okokon.
