Synopsis

Original Episode Title: Back to School with James Monteiro *** Original Episode Date: Tuesday, August 9, 2016 *** Name of Guest(s): James Monteiro *** Original Episode Summary: The stores are stocked with notebooks, pens, and backpacks. The flyers are hitting our newspapers and stuffed in our mailboxes. If you have a kid in your house, they are probably scrambling to get that summer reading finished (started?) and dreading the start of a new school year. Back to School means something a little different for tonight's guest though. James Monteiro runs the Prison Bridge Program through College Unbound. We're going to spend our time talking about the program, it's impact on the students who participate, and the fellowship that James was awarded to keep his work going. Get your #2 pencils out and join us for another amazing hour of Sonic Watermelons. *** Contact Info for Guest: www.collegeunbound.org *** More Info About the Guest, Topics and/or Podcast: A lot has been said about the school
