    20/21 Year in Review with Jim & Elaine

    It’s been a year. Shutdowns, marathon zoom meetings, compensating for patchy internet and dealing with the stress of a global phenomenon. We got through it all, and came out with some stories to tell. Hosts Jim and Elaine take a moment to look back at the wild ride that was this year, and the challenges and creativity that saw us to this hopeful summer. They talk through favorite episodes this year - including with physicist and writer Doug Hofstadter, vaccine developer John Patton, political scientist Jeff Isaac, and Media School students like Lexi Haskell and Jacqueline Ferguson who are leading the next generation of meaningful and important journalism. Can’t wait to see you next year! Meanwhile, check your feeds this summer for some bonus content and favorite looks back.
