Join lifer James Snyder as he takes a deep dive into the past, present, and future of Forsyth Country Day through the For What’s Ahead Podcast. In each episode, James sits down with members of the FCDS community with the goal of reintroducing the school to itself. Hear from your favorite teachers about their passions, and meet members of our community who exemplify our core values; it all happens on the For What’s Ahead Podcast.
Why have podcasts become so popular? I answer this question through a dive into the history of podcasts, podcast platforms and hosting sites, and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Thank you so much for following along with the For What's Ahead Podcast this school year! I have thoroughly enjoyed producing the podcast and researching the growth of podcasts.
