In what is probably the biggest recession indicator of 2025, this Stern Chats episode belongs entirely to Stern Follies. Current Follies members Lipika Sadaram and JC Arenas burn Stern Chats resources to sit down with Co-Presidents Claire Hotvedt and Aastha Girotra. Claire and Aastha talk about how they got involved in Follies and the journey to club leadership, the unique challenges of running a small and scrappy club, and tee up the Follies End of Year Show on May 3rd at the NYU Skirball Center. This episode will answer questions you didn't even know you had like how long did Aastha stay at her first job? How many languages can Claire say the word "platypus" in? And what the heck is a "folly"?
