Listen in as our young men and women banter about family dynamics, morality in love and what it might feel like to be in a wheelchair

*A word here about how we’re honoring privacy for our students. You’ll hear some first names here and there, and in upcoming episodes, you’ll also hear certain details about the lives of these students, but not too many. We hope to offer enough to enjoy, but not enough to expose.

The Real Word Podcast is produced by Reading Opens Minds and edited by Saul Black. For more information about Reading Opens Minds go to: readingopensminds.org. Subscribe to our newsletter and see what we’re up to!
