Friend of the podcast Moriah sits down with us to discuss life as a grad student during the coronavirus pandemic. Then, we dive into Wendell Berry, a brief history of the start of some universities, the school-to-sports pipeline, competition in the workforce and we ask what is the purpose of education anyway?
Join us on a meandering walk down the hallway of another broken system (don’t worry, we’ll be back on this soon for deeper dives).
