Many Student Protestors Refuse to Speak to WNW!
Send us a Text Message.Students protests are national news with students living in camps on many campuses. We decided that we would learn more about what they stood for and journeyed to Harvard and MIT to interview as many as we could. Instead, we found Harvard Yard closed to the public and the protestors impossible to access and then we found an MIT campus open to the public but afraid to speak to a ten year old and her dad. It was our most memorable podcast yet - we hope you will listen!
