Faith Salie's Approval Junkie, developed in collaboration with Amanda Watkins, made its New York premiere at the Minetta Lane Theatre after original rehearsals were postponed in March 2020. Emmy-winning comedian Salie, a regular guest on NPR's Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! and contributor to CBS Sunday Morning, recorded her one-woman memoir live onstage in the Winter of 2021. Approval Junkie brings her laugh-out-loud, often tender recollections of the turbulent emotional waters of adolescence and adulthood to listeners. It is a no-holds-barred look into Salie's very relatable journey to self-acceptance, learning that the only person she ever truly needs to impress is herself.

Portions of this audiobook contain mature language. Listener discretion is advised.
