“Class from the Past" is a podcast that reunites Scott Stiverson with former students he has taught over the many years of his career. It highlights their life experiences after leaving his class, the diverse paths they have taken, positive events, and the challenges they may have faced. Along the way, both student and teacher reflect on the impact each of their lives have had on each other: on who they are and who they became.
