Teens communicate and play games online — now for most students, school is online too. At the same time, students in the “Class of 2025″ are trying to maintain friendships and social connections despite a global pandemic. That’s the focus of the latest episode of OPB’s “Class of 2025″ podcast’s second season.

“Class of 2025″ is a six-episode podcast from Oregon Public Broadcasting. The podcast is hosted and produced by OPB’s Elizabeth Miller with editing and production by Rob Manning and Elyssa Dudley. Episodes are available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR One app, and at opb.org.

The Class Of 2025 podcast was made possible with support from the Education Writers’ Association Reporting Fellowship.
