The Office Hours Podcast
by Zachary Nistad
Welcome to The Office Hours Podcast! My name is Zach, and I am an Undergraduate Psychology student at Colorado State University. In this podcast, I interview faculty at CSU who teach in a wide array of academic disciplines. These conversations are meant to explore topics these professors are experts in, and hopefully spark new interests in listeners as well as motivate students at large universities to build relationships with faculty as they are a great wealth of knowledge. Notes: Not affiliated with CSU. Audio is recorded via zoom during the pandemic, so apologies for any sound issues.
