Did you hear that?
It’s the sound of something brand new from the Rediscover State College team!
We’ve given you stories to read and things to wear. Now, it’s time to treat your ears to…
Season 1 of The Rediscover State College Podcast!
If you’re thinking of making the move back to town, this is another great way to get behind the scenes of real life in State College – in quick 20-minute episodes.
In this inaugural season, we asked, “Who are the people around town with the coolest jobs?” And in each episode, host Brad Groznik talks with guests about what the “work” part of their work-life balance looks like as a local.
If you’ve ever thought, “I need to live in a city to find the kind of job I want!” or wondered if moving back would mean you’d be limited to jobs at the university, this is for you. (Spoiler alert, only ONE guest featured this season works at Penn State!)
Over the course of 6 episodes, you’ll learn:
> Tips for landing a great remote tech job with Trevor Calabro
> How to find your “in” at Penn State if you want to become a professor (even without a PhD) with Bill Zimmerman
> How to buy a local small business with Leah Mueller and Jared Yarnall-Schane of Singing Onstage
> How to create the thing you want more of around town with Liz Grove of restaurant and music venue Pine Grove Hall
> What it looks like to be a full-time musician in a college town with Eric Ian Farmer
> How to get started in real estate and interior design with Lizzie and Josh Parra of Parra Design
We’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on the unique paths of these wonderful locals and hope their experiences will help you in your own journey back to State College!
Happy listening!
