This episode, "Authenticity," was first aired September 8, 2021. 

Three different people, three different perspectives on authenticity. We share stories about when our authenticity brought others closer to us or caused them to pull away, raise questions about the relationships between authenticity, conformity, and agency, and, at one point, don some rose-colored glasses to appreciate the vibrancy and humanity that can accompany authenticity.

Hosted by Rachel Sumner PhD '15, featuring graduate students Janani Hariharan and Trevor Franklin.
