About the Episode
For a change of pace, this episode we interviewed Chicago sixth-grader Theo Schuler. Theo was looking for people who host podcasts to interview for his school’s “Genius Hour” project. Co-host Emily Shields shared her insights and asked him a few questions in return. We delved into Theo’s views on education, his plans for college and beyond, and what sixth graders are talking about in the lunch room. The hosts also shared what they were like in sixth grade and, well, it got weird.
