# Kendal at Oberlin Podcasts

### ![kao-Week4-Blog1-podcasts.jpg](https://resources.kao.kendal.org/hs-fs/hubfs/2018/Q1/Blog-images/kao-Week4-Blog1-podcasts.jpg?width=320&name=kao-Week4-Blog1-podcasts.jpg)Oberlin College Podcast Project Highlights Kendal

Sarah Dalgleish took an interest in Kendal at Oberlin after a visit for Oberlin College's annual day of service. As she looked for a topic for her Winter Term 2018 project, she decided to combine her interest in radio journalism with older adults. She produced a series of podcasts that feature a handful of Kendal residents, primarily those who have ties to the college-alumni, or former faculty and staff - talking about their decision to return to Oberlin.

#### Podcast 1: A Conscientious Objector

When Ken Cheek was a student at Oberlin, the college was just starting to develop its radical reputation that it has now. Listen to his story about student life and activism and how he found a passion for social work in college.
