Introducing The Aftergrad Podcast

Everyone talks about life as an undergrad and how college will prepare us for the inevitable challenges of adulthood. But what about the life we live after graduating from high school, college, or other preordained milestones. The Aftergrad Podcast is a platform for individuals navigating the early stages of adulthood with a desire to live out their passions or those wishing to reflect on a younger version of themselves while considering new opportunities for the future. Regardless of where you find yourself on your aftergrad journey, we encourage you to follow your dreams despite the societal pressures that may invalidate the vision you see for yourself. This is a safe space for open, honest conversations about the good, bad, and ugly aspects of adulthood. Completing a degree is a start, but there are countless other components to living life as an aftergrad. The show’s co-hosts, Robert Cain and Victoria Gilbert, share personal anecdotes and lessons learned as they live, laugh, and find clarity in the aftergrad journey. New episodes coming soon!

The Aftergrad Podcast
The transition from high school to college can be incredibly uncomfortable. And still, the transition from college to the real world is abrupt, discombobulating, and not talked about nearly enough. Twentysomethings, best friends, and recent graduates Robert Cain ‘21 and Victoria Gilbert ‘21 finished school in the middle of a global pandemic overly burdened by economic uncertainty and a discouraging job market. In response to these challenges, the creative duo shares personal anecdotes and lessons learned as they live, laugh, and desperately search for clarity and security in the postgrad moment. They discuss the societal expectations that frustrate them and the useful wisdom that aligns them, informing students, professionals, and leaders in a lighthearted manner.
