Every quarter, Antioch College has a lecture-style class called Global Seminar. It’s a required, theme-based and interdisciplinary course that addresses major global issues. The theme of the course changes each quarter and rotates between energy, water, health, food, and governance. Last summer the theme in Global Seminar was education and the class began with a discussion about Antioch and what makes it stand out in higher education. In one assignment, students interviewed members of the community about the definition of an Antioch education. Episode III of the Word features the answers from those interviews collected by producer Hideo Higashibaba and his fellow classmates.
The Antioch Word is written produced by the Miller Fellow at WYSO, Hideo Higashibaba. Theme music was written, performed and produced by Seth Kaplan. Additional music is by Glenn Jones and Podington Bear. Special thanks to Coty Wyatt, Cleo van der Veen and Joshua Lucca, who contributed interviews for this episode.
The Antioch Word is a monthly podcast for the Antioch College community, about Antioch College. It is written and produced by Antioch College students working at WYSO and will be released monthly.
