Story Highlight
Podcasts can spark dialogue, shift perspectives, and bring nuance to complex conversations. These new Columbian-created shows do just that, delving into themes of justice, art, power, and imagination. They explore everything from the criminal legal system to what it means to create something beautiful.
Hosted and produced by students, scholars, and creatives, each one invites listeners to think, and feel, more deeply.
