About the Listener Stories

We asked you: Do you consider yourself a late bloomer? Here are stories our listeners shared — stories of taking second chances, following childhood dreams, traveling the world and making the most of the time we're given.

This segment of TED Radio Hour was produced by Fiona Geiran and Andrea Gutierrez and edited by Andrea Gutierrez and Sanaz Meshkinpour. You can follow us on Facebook @TEDRadioHour and email us at TEDRadioHour@npr.org.
