BONUS: Introducing the "How's School?" podcast

10/12/22 • 1 min

The truth is, we care about our young people, dare we say, even worry about them. But staying connected to their world and all the complexity they navigate can be a challenge. Pop and Play hosts Haeny Yoon and Nathan Holbert introduce this new podcast created and hosted by Pop and Play Producer Joe Riina-Ferrie, and Media Producer Jen Lee. "How's School?" looks at education, health, and psychology–but at the core is young people's well-being, and our ability to face things that impact them without losing heart.
