    Unsure Pilot

    Unsure Pilot

    College is new territory, and so much is unknown.
    College is one of those things that everyone has talked about for years, and then it comes and everything hits you at once. The idea of needing to know everything, having to do everything, and be the person you want to become without even knowing who you are in the present.
    With this in mind, what comes now from Teen-y Pod is Unsure, a series about the unknowns and "I don’t knows” all within the context of College. Hosted by Syd Walter, a current college student and producer of Teen-y , Unsure will be a collage of storytelling, interviews, and pieces of connection for listeners.
