The 411

Welcome to the 411, where you get the rundown to keep you on top of things going on in the world. We are your hosts, Sarthak, Tanvir, and Serah. We’re three university students pursuing different paths, navigating the increasingly complicated world. I think we’ve all experienced that awkward feeling when everyone’s talking about something that you know nothing about, and you wish you had just taken a moment to google it beforehand. We wanted to start this podcast to help mitigate that feeling and keep our listeners, and ourselves, informed about these topics.
