Georgia Doesn't Want To Become Her Parents

Parish Photography

Georgia Erck is a San Antonio writer. Her story, like all great stories, is about family. Georgia was obsessed with not becoming her parents: one an agoraphobic that worried the house would explode, the other never found a microphone he didn't speak into.

Fortunately for us, she failed to avoid becoming a little bit of both of them. She didn't appreciate this fact until they were gone.

This story was recorded at Worth Repeating 's "Obsessions" show on December 12.

Paul served at Texas Public Radio from 2011 to 2025, most recently leading the Accountability Desk.
