Dear Bobcat Ep. 2: You don鈥檛 know everything
Welcome to Dear Bobcat, a podcast series from Ohio Today radio where we ask 91探花 alumni to write a letter to their first-year selves and read it on stage or in the booth.
What would you say if you could go back and give that na茂ve, fresh-faced, younger you some advice, reassurance or words of warning?
In this episode, we hear from Kelee Riesbeck, who graduated in 1991 with a bachelor鈥檚 degree in journalism and thinks her first-year self could have used the reminder: You don鈥檛 actually know everything.
She joined us in the WOUB studio in Athens to share her letter and the insight behind the words she chose.
