The Grahm Lives Podcast

The unfortunate demise of our chosen institute of higher education forced many Grahmites to make some difficult decisions in our young lives. But even if we only attended one year of college in Kenmore Square, the memories remain strong and meaningful. Such is the story of this week's guest, Mark Clarke, Class of '78. 

Here's another one of us who survived the 60s twice. He had some close calls during Boston's antiwar demonstrations, but lived to tell the stories. What happened to him between Boston and Billings? You'll find out this week as we reminisce with Pat Sheehy, Class of '71.

Sometimes it takes a while to find your real calling after college, but this week's guest is happy where she landed. And the great news is we all get to share in her success! Here's the story as told by Susan Brink, Class of '76.

Once again this week we're going behind the scenes for the life story of another unsung Grahm grad who worked on TV and movie sets, sometimes uncredited. If you're a fan of the WWF you'll recognize his work even if you don't recognize his name. Get to know Neal Grubb, class of '77.

Someone once said, "When you're talking, you're not learning anything." You can learn a lot by listening, and that's just one of the mantras that this week's Grahm grad built his successful sales career on after his college years. Listen and learn from John Drugach, Class of '66.

Here's yet another story of "education interrupted" due to the end of an era when Grahm Junior College closed in 1979. That's not to say our guest didn't make the most of his shortened time in the hallowed halls of the communications building and Kenmore Hall. Have fun sharing the memories of Steve Pingelski, Class of '79.

"Go West young man," goes the famous quote. And that's exactly what this week's guest decided to do after graduating Grahm. Fresh with his new degree and a chance at a new job on the left coast, he set off for Los Angeles...and the story takes an unexpected turn from there, as told by Kent Duffy, Class of '71.

Here we go again! Another unsung hero of broadcasting. You might not know his name but you'll recognize his work on some historic television broadcasts over his considerable career. Enjoy my conversation with Mike Hemeon, Class of '75.

This week, yet another Grahm grad who says he never saw the twists and turns of his working life coming. But when it comes down to it, his love for radio still wins out, even when it's not the main source of his income. Thanks for checking out the story of Mike Jetter, Class of '72.

Sometimes your career seems destined from a very young age. Many of our guests so far on this podcast have started their stories this way. But fortunately each story is unique, which makes for some great storytelling. Here's yet another as told by Eric Elmendorf, Class of '73.
