Hosted by students Thomas Berg and Rohan Rost, this podcast offers a rare insider's perspective on what it's really like to live, learn, and grow in a residential academic community.

Each episode combines intimate interviews with personal storytelling, creating a comprehensive portrait of the boarding school experience. Our hosts don't just observe—they live it, sharing their own journeys, challenges, triumphs, and daily realities alongside compelling conversations with their fellow students, dedicated faculty members, and accomplished alumni who've walked these halls before them.

From late-night study sessions and dormitory life to athletic competitions and college preparation, The Hot Spot explores every facet of boarding school culture. Whether you're curious about the social dynamics, academic pressures, campus traditions, or the unique bonds formed in this close-knit community, our candid discussions reveal the complexities and richness of residential school life.

Tune in for honest conversations about friendship, homesickness, academic excellence, personal growth, and the transformative experiences that shape young minds. The Hot Spot isn't just about boarding school—it's about the universal journey of adolescence, told through the lens of two students navigating their formative years in an extraordinary educational environment.
