​From the effects of the internet in humans to whether it’s truly possible to be yourself, Bridge students tackle all kinds of complex questions in their weekly podcast: the Seedpod. 
 
The podcast grew out of a space we used to call “the brain jumpstart”, where we would ask ourselves interesting questions to start our Friday morning’s focused work sessions. We constantly have peer groups full of brilliant people, who are highly insightful and can discuss a wide variety of issues. Thus, our discussions during the brain jumpstart were deep, rich and entertaining, so we thought, why not share our opinions with the world? 
 
We have now recorded more than 20 amazing episodes of the Seedpod!

Here are a couple of recent episodes:
