NEW EPISODES EVERY SUNDAY - “I’ve heard Princeton students are stuffy, elitist, and wear too much orange. Is that true?” You decide. Every week, Sophia, Simon, and Emily sit down with different Princetonians and ask them the hard-hitting questions about their accomplishments, deepest darkest secrets, and other things that shouldn't be put in writing. NOTHING is off limits (excluding topics that could undermine the sanctity of their LinkedIn profiles, of course). Slide into our inbox at thebechdeltest.podcast@gmail.com.

Sophia Shepherd, Simon Marotte, Emily Driver
