Love, love, love this podcast! I never miss an episode. If you are passionate about Purdue, you’ll become even more passionate listening to this pod. Go Boilers!!!
As a Purdue graduate, I’m so happy to have found this podcast! Kate and team continue to find such interesting guests—whether thats a current student, faculty/staff member, or alumni taking their next giant leap. I’m especially loving this new research series, Mark Lundstrom’s episode truly amazed me as I didn't know about Purdue’s massive contributions to semiconductor research/education. Thanks for helping me start my Thursdays the right way! Keep it up! 🥰🚂
Awesome podcast for any Boilermaker of any generation. Kate and the team find some great Purdue people with great stories. President Chiang’s episode was fantastic. Hail Purdue!
I love this podcast and the stories that Kate and her team bring! It’s an awesome way to still stay connected to Purdue, it’s community, and Alum!
Kate and her team does such a fantastic job capturing the stories of the people of Purdue. Every episode is just as evoking as the previous one and I am always looking forward to next.
