About the Podcast

Brarcast
Student led podcast talking about today's issues
"The coronavirus threw a wretch into my junior year, closing down every activity that I planned to do over the next two months. So, instead of being bored at home, I decided to do something I always wanted to try - start a podcast. I decided to make the best out of a bad situation, and along the way, have had an absolute blast talking with my guests.

Orignally, I started it as something fun for others to listen to. Yet, over the short time that I have been doing this podcast, I have realized that its impact goes far beyond that. Its an oppurtunity for my listners to cool off, and to take their mind off what seems to be numbers and events getting worse and worse everyday. Its an outlet, to take away stress. My hope is that producing these episodes, you can not only learn about the world around, but take mental health break, and push away all the negatives in this time of crisis.

This podcast has been quite a journey, but I'm proud to be doing it, and I hope that you will find it helpful, informative, and fun!"
