My guest today is Ariel, host of the higher education podcast Areas of Interest. Ariel is a recent graduate from San Jose State University with a degree in Ecology and Evolution, and they started a podcast to help others navigate which area of interest they’d like to pursue in higher education. Ariel recently moved to Texas to continue her studies, and we talk about that move, her interest in bats, how she does a better job than Malcolm Gladwell at organizing her episodes, and more.
