A day off the grid, from a finalist of NPR's Student Podcast Challenge

Like just about everyone else, college students struggle to manage their screen time. One of the finalists in NPR's College Podcast Challenge set out to tune out, turn off, and unplug.

This is an excerpt from "The Day I Ditched My Devices" by Brandon Kondritz, a student at Northwestern University. His story was a finalist in the 2023 NPR College Podcast Challenge.
