Podcast: Uncertain Things
Episode: The Indoctrination of Elite Education (w/ Bill Deresiewicz)
Description: William Deresiewicz — author of (the newly updated) Excellent Sheep, The Death of the Artist, and The End of Solitude — returns to the pod! This time we dive into one of the institutions we love to hate: elite universities.
