This episode is a pilot of Counterpoint’s podcast Casti Convos, featuring guests Lea Pence and Valerie Ross. Your hosts are Zahra Rohaninejad and Raeva Parikh, two juniors in the class of 2025. The podcast is a place for voices from around the Castilleja campus to be heard in a new format. It’s focused on interviewing teachers and students candidly and asking the questions we’re all curious about. Hope you enjoy!
