An American fiction story series podcast. Meet Barney Basco, a 13-year-old boy of Filipino descent growing up with his new to America family in the 1980s. In Season One, Barney finds himself in a new middle school where he tries to make new friends, overcome embarrassment and deal with a bully. While trying to fit in, he discovers he has talents that not only can help him survive the 7th grade but possibly take him from zero to hero. New York during the 80’s serves as an interesting backdrop for Barney’s first reactions to music, movies, clothing trends and even historical events of the era.Created by Tab AchoiWritten by Tab Achoi and Maggie CoomerVoice Talents of JuneMSBSound and Audio Production by AMN Productions
