On this episode I’m joined by Santiago Campos. Santiago is headed to Georgetown University in the fall. He went to school at DC International School and had a piece was featured on PBS News Hour and in Teen Vogue.

Santiago has been awarded multiple scholarships. One of them was from CBS in honor of broadcast legend Mike Wallace. He spoke critically of what is happening at the network. Very critically. If you’re listening to this podcast, I’m guessing you saw clips of his speech or at least heard about it. I’m curious about that, but I’m more curious about everything that led up to it and what he thinks is coming after it. That’s what we talked about.
