PC: Problematic Conversations

Bora Lugunda and Sebastien Kleitman

Thank you for listening to PC: Problematic Conversations. We aim to have difficult, sometimes controversial conversations to expand our worldview and hopefully yours as well. We are college students, trying to have conversations about where we are, who we are, and what we think. We go to Bates College, so a lot of our conversations explore what it means to attend this institution.
