    7: Beyond the Bubble

    While most students spent the semester far from Harvard, some lived just outside its gates. Students seeking to recreate the campus experience signed on to short term rentals in Cambridge and surrounding areas, entering a housing market at the cusp of an eviction crisis. It’s part of  what one student calls “gentrification in rapid action” — and Harvard students are part of the problem. Presented by The Harvard Crimson. Written and reported by Maliya Ellis and Jane Li. Produced and edited by Kai McNamee. Podcast art by Kai McNamee and Yuen Ting Chow.

    5: Unstoppable Force, Immovable Object

    Old institutions like Harvard aren’t exactly known for being quick to adapt to change. So what happens when a global pandemic forces instructors and administrators to reimagine the college experience? Kai and Jason talk to instructors about virtual office hours, the future of higher education and doing math proofs in a windowless office. Presented by The Harvard Crimson. Hosted, written and produced by Kai McNamee and Jason Lam. Podcast art by Kai McNamee and Yuen Ting Chow.

    4: Long Distance

    The international experience at Harvard is partly defined by distance: distance from home, distance from family, distance in culture. This episode explores international students’ experiences in the pandemic. It’s the story of a mostly-won legal battle, a nocturnal sleep schedule, and an identity crisis. Presented by The Harvard Crimson. Hosted and edited by Kai McNamee. Produced by Kai McNamee, Jason Lam, Ryan Gajarawala, and Allison Lee. Podcast art by Kai McNamee and Yuen Ting Chow.
