Episode Description from the Publisher

Talissa is handed a letter written in old-school cursive… and everything falls apart. David challenges her to read a simple handwritten message, but Gen Z vs vintage handwriting turns out to be a serious struggle. What used to be normal everyday writing now looks like a secret code. In this episode, Talissa tries to decode elegant, old-fashioned cursive while David slowly realizes just how different generations have become when it comes to reading and writing. Turns out… typing might have ruined us. 😂 ⸻ EP 78 — Daughter Issues Podcast 👨 David Smalley https://www.instagram.com/davidcsmalley/ 👧 Talissa Smalley https://www.instagram.com/talissasmalley_/🌐 https://daughterpod.com💸 Bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/daughterissuesIf you enjoy generational culture clashes, dad vs daughter moments, and hilarious learning curves — subscribe for more.
