Author: Student Life Newspaper November 14, 2020 Duration: 8:24
Two months into this hybrid semester, there's a big question on Washington University students' minds––what's going to happen in the spring? Multimedia Editor Jaden Satenstein talks to news reporter Clara Richards and Senior News Editor Ted Moskal about what we know so far. Music by Copy Chief JJ Coley.

From the newsroom of Washington University's independent student paper, Student Life Newspaper Podcasts brings the stories behind the headlines directly to your ears. This collection goes beyond the printed page, offering intimate audio documentaries and weekly deep dives hosted by the student journalists themselves. In one series, you'll hear the raw and personal accounts from the campus community during an unprecedented time, capturing the anxiety, adaptation, and cautious hope as the university navigated a complex reopening. Another regular feature serves as a weekly debrief, where editors unpack their most significant reporting, explaining why a story matters and the process of getting it right. Each episode in this podcast library is built on firsthand reporting and a commitment to telling the university's stories with depth and context. It’s a direct line to the voices shaping campus conversation, produced for anyone interested in the real experiences and journalistic rigor found at the heart of student life. Tune in for thoughtful, narrative-driven audio that complements the work of the Student Life Newspaper.
