Recess Therapy

Recess Therapy is a web series and Instagram account created and hosted by Julian Shapiro-Barnum, in which he interviews children between the ages of 2 and 9 around New York City. Interview topics vary and have included climate change, the economy, and peeing your pants.
==Background ==
Julian was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York by five gay parents: two fathers and three mothers. As a child he was outgoing and enjoyed talking to people, earning him the nickname "Mayor of Everywhere". He would make up character studies for himself and his parents to act out as young as three. He began taking an improv class in third grade, beginning a string of formal acting activity that would continue through his graduation from Boston University in 2021 with a BFA in acting.https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/11/style/recess-therapy-julian-shapiro-barnum.html Julian has mentioned that he has lived in Boston and Philadelphia as well as New York, where he currently resides.https://youtu.be/YyKG7xQzRkA?t=273 
==Trivia ==
*A production shoot for Recess Therapy usually lasts about four and a half hours and yields 15 interviews. Filming is done by Julia Ty Goldberg, a college classmate of Shapiro-Barnum.
*In August 2022, Recess Therapy released a video where Julian interviewed a boy who told him about how much he loved corn, describing it as "a big lump with knobs". The video went viral and a second interview followed. Schmoyoho remixed the videos into a song called "It's Corn", which became a viral meme on TikTok.
