#10: The Politics of Pat Robertson with Lewis Chapman '19, Political Science

“Burn Your Draft” is a podcast exploring the year-long senior thesis experience at Reed College, an independent liberal arts and sciences college in Portland, Oregon. Each episode our host, student Frank Tangherlini, meets with a senior or recent grad to interview them about their thesis: what is it, why did they do it, and what comes next. This podcast is a joint production of Reed students, staff, and alumni, and was made possible by a gift from Seth Paskin '90. New episodes released every other week during most of the year. Episodes may contain swearing and may deal with sensitive topics.
