The Longest Shortest Time
EPISODE #193: The Qualities and Characteristics of 7th-Borns
Robby Hoffman is a comedian, actor, and writer from Montreal. She is also the seventh-born child in her family. (That’s her in the polka dot shirt, above, with 5 of her 9 siblings.)
She has this joke that she’s always meeting middle kids, eldest kids, but she’s never met another #7. She’s always wondered: is there such a thing as 7th child syndrome? Today on the show, we‘re on a mission to help Robby find out.
Tune in to hear the first ever very informal, unofficial, thoroughly unscientific investigation of #7s.
