A couple weeks ago, the episode of This American Life started off telling about a high school exchange program between a PS in the Bronx and tony private school Fieldston. But quickly it turned into a story about college: going, not going, and a little bit in between. The Posse Foundation is featured heavily, so I was personally very interested. One of the highlighted students is pretty excellent to hear from, and as always, the storytelling is compelling.
If you've got extra time some morning, it would be great to listen to in the background. Or, you can read through the transcript.
