Nichols Talk Podcast
Nichols Talk Podcast is a student-based podcast run out of Nichols School. The goal of the podcast series is to create a platform that promotes the Nichols community. By engaging different personalities and Nichols, we hope to foster unity by introducing the podcast individuals to a larger audience. In the process of making these podcasts, students, teachers, parents, and anyone who tunes in to listen will be provided with a unique opportunity to get to know the Nichols community in a not academic and socially friendly way. The platform provides a window into our Nichols community, which would particularly be helpful for those prospective students and parents considering Nichols. We think there is an opportunity for all to take part and project voices farther than just the classroom.
