As students across the country don caps and gowns for graduation, big questions about the future loom. One student made a podcast to puzzle through her chosen path.

This is an excerpt from "It's All About Radio" by Sheridan Follis, a recent graduate of Minnesota State University. Her story was a finalist in the 2024 NPR College Podcast Challenge.
