NPR Podcast Draft 1 by Michael Pacini published on 2020-03-19T21:18:46Z Five eighth grade students, Maya, Jordan, Stephen, Noah and Jack from Meadowlark School in Boulder County, Colorado confront the possibility that they may not be as logical as they originally thought. They go from close-minded, somewhat egotistical, and completely confident in their abilities to humble, open-minded, and far more understanding of other people with opinions different than their own. Throughout their journey, they delve deep into the psychology of forming opinions, investigate the media, and grapple with the truths that they find along the way. In many cases, they face internal struggles of whether or not to fully accept what they find, and have trouble changing their value systems to make themselves better people. Join them in this self-reflective story as they face many of our misconceptions, biases, and external influences head on, and you might be able to transform just as they did!
