    The Hidden Opponent

    The Hidden Opponent

    Hello, and welcome back to This Person I Met! This episode is the second part of my interview with Mr. Sumerton, one of the principals at Huron High School. In this episode, we discuss some surprising effects of technology on students’ mental health, and other pitfalls of high school. It’s funny – we’d only planned to talk for 15-20 minutes, but ended up talking for an entire hour.
    Be on the lookout for the next episodes in this school-related series - I hope you enjoyed this episode, and thank you for your support!

    Surviving High School 101

    Hello, and welcome back to This Person I Met! Today’s guest is Mr. Sumerton, one of the principals at Huron High School. This episode marks the start of a series I’m hoping to do, which will cover common challenges that high school students in my generation face, from mental health issues, to unhealthy academic peer pressure. Mr. Sumerton discusses these themes in this episode, along with how his family life and personal experiences in other school districts contribute to his view of Ann Arbor Public Schools as a singularly unique school district.
    Stay tuned for the next part of this interview, where Mr. Sumerton explains how he believes reliance on technology contributes greatly to much of the mental health issues that high schoolers face. I hope you enjoyed this episode, and as always, thank you for your support!

    Hello, and welcome back to This Person I Met! In today’s episode, Lindsay Calka will be talking about something that you might’ve seen in action for yourself in the streets of downtown Ann Arbor. Groundcover News, the newspaper that she has managed for the past three years, works to provide a source of income for hundreds of low-income or homeless individuals in our community.
    As Lindsay explained, the Groundcover podcast is a way for the writers of the newspaper to deliver their stories in a verbal fashion. In the next episode, you will be able to hear a few snippets from this podcast, so stay tuned for that! As always, thank you for your support!

Great episodes!

It’s nice to hear voices from local people that we are familiar with, which is more inspirational. Looking forward to more episodes!

Great episode.

It would be nice if there was some level of interaction between the hosts and the interviewees, especially when the interviewees were telling their stories. Great interviews though, they are very inspiring.
