Episode 8: The yearbooks are in!
It has the longest deadline. It costs the most. It weighs the heaviest. Advising a yearbook is a very different undertaking. The day the truck comes in with the books is a special one. In this episode, one of the co-editors-in-chief shares her thoughts as she sees her book for the first time. And her advisors, Jerred Zegelis (Z) and Tim Kaldahl (K) talk about the past year and lessons learned.

Episode 6: News and Analytics Are Good
It's just Z (Jerred Zegelis) and K (Tim Kaldahl) talking about the surprising/not surprising fact that real news is something that gets read at a high school. Looking at our Google stats for what gets read on our news site has shown that covering important, timely topics makes all the difference.
