Carleton Conversations Podcast
Welcome to the home of "Carleton Conversations," a podcast dedicated to all things Carleton. In our new show, we’ll talk with people about things going on at Carleton, and we’ll talk with Carleton staff, faculty and students about issues going on in our community and our world. We hope to give you some insights into Carleton, and offer some Carleton insights into your world. We hope you enjoy our new form of communication with you, whether you’re a current Carl, a former Carl and someone who’s just discovered Carleton.
If you have an idea for the show or would like to offer us any feedback, please email the show's host, Director of Media and Public Relations Eric Sieger.
