Join hosts Julia and Kieran as they address the myths and stereotypes surrounding the campus community. “That’s What They Said” is a space where we pull back the curtain on the college experience — the myths, the stereotypes and the late-night thoughts nobody puts in the brochure. No topic is off-limits! We’re talking about everything — from expectations vs. reality, to campus culture, academics, friendships and the messy in-betweens. If it’s part of student life, we’re navigating it together. "That's What They Said" is a podcast produced by WKNC 88.1 FM HD-1/HD-2 at NC State University.
