About the episode
Last year, when Columbia University found itself embroiled by anti-war protests and fighting with the Trump administration, journalist Jodi Kantor was invited to speak at the school’s commencement.“My friends actually tried to stop me. Like, ‘Don’t do it. Call in sick,'” remembers Kantor.The Pulitzer prize-winner did wind up giving that speech. And that experience led her to write a new book about how young people can find their life’s work. We sit down with Kantor to talk about ‘How to Start.’Find more of our programs online.
