On Saturday, February 1, 2020 Jad Abumrad, host of Radio Lab and Dolly Parton’s America podcast series, visited the Borah High School library in Boise. For over an hour, in a library jammed with eager students, Jad graciously sat for an interview with Borah Pridecast student host, Ellie Smith (graduating class of 2020!). A few weeks later, the COVID-19 pandemic surged, and the school year went virtual; the Pridecast studio was shuttered for the next 14 months.
So, for Episode #25, the Pridecast team offers its listeners that full interview – made possible with some generous help from the The Cabin, Idaho’s literary arts nonprofit organization, and the podcast team for Boise State Public Radio News’ “You Know the Place” podcast. Thanks for listening. These are Borah Voices!
