From Inside Higher Ed, by Matt Read
A couple of years ago, Inside Higher Ed did a story on students at the Community College of Baltimore County and a podcast they were putting together. The point of the podcast was to have students tell their own stories and, in so doing, to debunk the stigma surrounding community college.
I loved the idea immediately and wrote the post below celebrating it. It struck me as an even more inclusive version of what college radio used to be.
I’m happy to report that the pod has launched! It’s called “Good School,” and it features students talking about what makes a good school, and why community college was a good school for them. I heard the first full episode on Tuesday and can report that it sounds very much like students; it isn’t buffed to a high gloss like so much marketing material. In the spirit of signal-boosting, you can use this link to find the pod on whichever app you use for podcasts. I recommend it wholeheartedly, and no, I'm not being paid to do so. It's just well worth checking out.
