Episode 7: Bonus: Frankly Speaking with Kaya and Alizha

This bonus episode features Kaya Thomas and Alizha Vernon, the podcast fellows who helped shape and refine the scope of the podcast. During the summer, Kaya prepared for her incoming freshmen year at Northeastern University in Boston while Alizha prepared to enter her third year at UIC. They checked in with each other and talked about what it was like to produce a podcast under these unprecedented circumstances. This episode was edited for length and clarity. The words come directly from them.

To learn what our young people are saying about their experiences with producing a podcast virtually and going back to school during a pandemic, listen to episode seven of our podcast today.
