In this episode of PlayGround, I have a conversation with Anirudh Pidugu, a first-year dental student at Columbia University. Ani and I discuss his interests in music and sports, and how he finds an escape in them. He retells stories of DJing, growing up in Little Rock, Arkansas, and finding lifelong friends at Emory. He also shares how Kobe Bryant (R.I.P) has become an inspiration for him. If you want to learn more about how music and sports can be a grounding experience, what the creative process is for a DJ, or an inspirational story of Kobe Bryant, you do not want to miss this episode!
