How to Succeed at College (an NPR Life Kit Podcast Series)

So, I am an NPR nerd–and, if asked, I’d respond that my local NPR station is 89.7, WOSU, but I also listen to 90.5, WCBE, on occasion. I typically listen each day on my way into and home from work and to NPR One when I work out at RPAC or run. I also check out NPR stories on my news feed every so often (after hitting the day’s news on the BBC and before checking baseball scores on ESPN or scrolling through Buzzfeed “14 Dog Posts from This Week that We Really Need Right Now” type stories). In other words, NPR is part of my daily ritual. And nearly every day I find something of value in their broadcasts. (You can find the daily and weekly schedule for WOSU here.)

And that’s where I came across what I now know is an NPR podcast series, “How to Succeed at College.” Perfect for STEP! (You can find a directory online, as well.)

It looks like the series only began this fall–with the first episode airing on August 30, 2019. The episodes run 20-25 minutes or so, and take up critical questions, like “How to Do Well (and be Happy!) in College”

and “How to Get a Job after College.”  As NPR notes on the Life Kit page, the podcast is part of “NPR’s family of podcasts to help make life better — covering everything from exercise to raising kids to making friends.” You can  sign up for the newsletter or follow  @NPRLifeKit on Twitter. However you might access the series, I recommend it!

What else would I recommend from NPR?  Thank you for asking! Snap Judgment, Freakonomics, and Reveal. And, of course, “Only a Game,” which inconveniently airs live at 7:00 am on Saturdays . . . but you can also subscribe the podcast and queue it up during your next workout session at RPAC!
