Hosted by veteran journalist Ben Wildavsky, Season 2 continues with more conversations with visionaries and innovators shaping the future of higher education.

TORONTO, CANADA, March 28, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Antica Productions announced the launch of Season 2 of Higher Ed Spotlight, a podcast series hosted by veteran journalist and higher education policy expert Ben Wildavsky. The series takes a candid and provocative look at the big questions driving the future of higher education with today’s preeminent thinkers. The series is sponsored by Chegg’s Center for Digital Learning.

“I’m thrilled to be back for a second season," says Ben Wildavsky. "After years as a print journalist and book author, I’ve discovered that inviting listeners to join me for in-depth conversations with great education thinkers makes podcasting a remarkably intimate and energizing format.”

Previous guests have included a range of innovators and experts, like Dr. Paul LeBlanc, President of Southern New Hampshire University; Dr. Mildred Garcia, President of the American Association of State Colleges; Under Secretary of Education James Kvaal; and Angel Pérez, CEO of the National Association for College Admission Counseling.

Season 2 will build on the insights and possibilities that came out of these conversations to further grapple with the major debates and challenges in higher education, including whether to keep or abolish admissions testing, whether ChatGPT is the scary monster it's made out to be, and the role of universities and colleges in helping to address climate change.

The first episode of Higher Ed Spotlight Season 2 is available today and features a candid conversation with education and workforce expert Ryan Craig. He argues that the expansion of apprenticeships—the earn and learn model—is a key component to making America fairer.

Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast streaming services.

Higher Ed Spotlight is produced by Ben Wildavsky and Antica Productions.

The series is exclusively sponsored by Chegg’s Center for Digital Learning.
