This project offers the Class of '75 a way to tell one another stories that we haven’t heard before through an anthology of short conversations. Over time we expect to assemble a "quilt" that captures the spectrum of our experiences over the last 45 years—some sad, some funny, some serious, some light, and all from the heart.
Do you have a roommate you’d especially like to appreciate? A conversation with an admired classmate you think others might enjoy? A beloved friend you’d like to remember? A mentor you’d like to express your gratitude to? Or a great story to coax out of a classmate?
Beyond strengthening connection, we hope that when we next meet, our podcast will prompt us to reach out and say, "Hey, I didn’t know that about you. Tell me more…"
The interview format collects conversations that are distilled into 5–10 minute stories, with the full interview stored and accessible in the PasstheMic75 archive. Starting from a base of three beta interviews posted in time for the virtual class reunion in October 2020, we expect to collect and post as many interviews as possible over the next three years leading up to our 50th.
