Germany's Go Ask Alice with Adrian Daub (Christiane F. – Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo)

We're talking about a teenage girl's memoir of drugs, survival, and escape—a book that freaked out German-speaking kids and parents about as much as Go Ask Alice did for Americans. Only this time, the story is true. (Plus! Your responses to my post asking about what's making you feel excitement and joy ended up making me feel so much joy that I wanted to ask the same question as an episode prompt. So if you want to share your joy and excitement again, please send a sound file or voice memo—three minutes or shorter—to sloppyandalive [at] gmail [dot] com, and you might hear it in our next episode.)
