“Graduate” Episode 2 features an interview the host Fabiana Conway did with Andrea Archilla, a recent high school graduate that plans to attend the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez campus on a pre-med track. Andrea shares her experiences throughout high school and tells listeners about how she managed rigorous course work as a full diploma programme student through organizational tips like time blocking, taking intentional breaks, and recharging herself with enjoyable activities.

This episode explores how island vulnerability increases as the climate crisis becomes worse. In "Maui, Puerto Rico, and Island Vulnerability" a guest speaker, Elakai Anela, and the host Fabiana Conway talk about the islands Hawaii and Puerto Rico and the impact climate change has on its locals. From the recent Maui disaster to Hurricane Maria, island vulnerability is increasing and we need better solutions.

As the interview ends with the Hawaiian sentiment “Ohana” meaning family, it reminds us that we need to keep supporting locals or islanders who need help to recover from natural disasters exacerbated due to climate change.

Did you know that the last week of September is banned books week?

In “Book Bans and Censorship, Where’s the Line?” the host Fabiana Conway connects the recent book bans in the U.S. to a wider root issue that is the history of authoritarian governments and suppressing free speech/ideas. The episode goes into different arguments on book bans as well as different examples throughout history. Using theories from philosophers like John Locke and Voltaire, and their perspectives on censorship, the episode dives into the moral question that is 'Who gets to determine what books should and shouldn't get banned?'
