Stag Symposium ([email protected]) 
Show Notes Season 1, Episode 14. Drop date 6/10/2024
The podcast wraps up its first season with Mike and Dan reflecting on through-lines that we saw in the range of guests. Some of those through lines include: passion, curiosity, a sense of mission, and humor. There is a sense of gratitude and wonder at the range of teaching and, in plans for next season, the hosts hope to interview people from across the spectrum of DeMatha life. The podcast takes a break for the summer and will return on September 9–coincidentally the anniversary of the school’s opening in 1946.
