About this listen

On this episode we take another look at Michelle San Miguel’s in-depth interview with educator David Upegui. Upegui, who grew up experiencing homelessness, has now received the nation’s highest honor for STEM teachers. He shares his unique outlook on how he has improved—and even saved—students’ lives. Then, we take a second look at the crew and students aboard Rhode Island’s iconic Tall Ship, the Oliver Hazard Perry. Finally we re-visit a Little Compton alpaca farm.
