She describes the College as ā€œa gift of four years where I could focus on myself and my friendships and my academic interests. ā€¦ So by the time that I was out in the ā€˜real world,ā€™ I was already fully formed, and I wasn't going to change because of patriarchy.ā€

She describes the College as ā€œa gift of four years where I could focus on myself and my friendships and my academic interests. ā€¦ So by the time that I was out in the ā€˜real world,ā€™ I was already fully formed, and I wasn't going to change because of patriarchy.ā€

A year out of college, Molly Seavy-Nesper ā€™12 was living back home and, by her own admission, feeling ā€œvery lost.ā€

Radioā€”and in particular Fresh Air and its host Terry Grossā€”was a lifeline. ā€œWhen I was miserable in Massachusetts, working in retail and restaurants, I listened to Fresh Air in the car,ā€ she says, ā€œand I remember those interviews.

Back then, she couldnā€™t have imagined that, within the year, sheā€™d land a Fresh Air internship. Or that the internship would lead to ā€œthe best job I could have in my field.ā€

A French and Cities double major at Bryn Mawr, Seavy-Nesper today works as associate producer of digital media for Fresh Air. In that role, sheā€™s the person responsible for managing the programā€™s digital presenceā€”building webpages, running social media, and handling the podcast.
