In this podcast, you'll hear stories primarily from my Amherst College Class of 1994 classmates as we reflect on life 30+ years removed from graduation day. What have we been up to all these years? How has Amherst impacted the decisions we've made? What college memories have stayed with us? How are we thinking about the next 20 years? アート エンターテインメント・舞台芸術 社会科学

  • Adam Bonin Champions Democracy One Ballot at a Time
    2025/07/10
    am Bonin’s voice, passion for politics, and Philadelphia sports devotion certainly will sound familiar to his Amherst classmates, but his post-college path has been anything but predictable. Adam takes us through his early certainty that law was his calling, the disillusionment he experienced practicing corporate law, and the path he carved into political law and election work. We hear how a career pivot allowed him to integrate his passion for politics with his legal skills, how he’s become the go-to expert in high-stakes election battles—and how his journey reflects a broader lesson in finding professional purpose. Highlights include: Adam's role in shaping election law and voter protection in Pennsylvania. How his Amherst experience—academically and socially—laid the groundwork for his intellectual agility and passion for public service. He's still a pop culture maven. From “The Simpsons” to wrestling, Adam’s enduring passions serve as both respite and connection points to his younger self. The Amherst classmates he wants me to interview next. To get in touch with Adam, email him at adam@boninlaw.com and find him on BlueSky.

  • Toby King Made His Own Path—From Geology To Bluegrass To Academia
    2025/07/03
    When I think of people who’ve allowed life’s serendipities to shape their course, Toby King comes immediately to mind. In this episode, he walks me through a zigzagging journey that began with a keg behind the geology building before his freshman year at Amherst College even started and took him to UNC Asheville, where he's Associate Professor and Chair of Music and, starting this fall, the chair of the UNC Faculty Assembly. Toby’s story is a reminder that we don’t always have to know where we’re going—as long as we stay open to what moves us. Highlights include: How Toby chose geology at Amherst after bonding with faculty during a pre-orientation outing—and a well-timed beer Why he walked away from a geology career after a frank conversation with a mentor during an oil company internship Why he taught himself how to play the banjo, and how he leveraged his passion for music into a spot at Columbia's graduate program and a teaching role at Sarah Lawrence The importance of prioritizing connections over content in teaching, and how the Amherst College geology department has influenced his approach to at UNC Asheville The Amherst College classmates he wants me to interview next To get in touch with Toby, check out his page on the UNC Asheville website: https://www.unca.edu/person/jonathan-king/.

  • Ana-Claire Meyer Finds Meaning in Medicine By Going Where The Problems Are
    2025/06/26
    Early on in this project, a close friend told me that he hoped I'd interview Ana-Claire Meyer. Now I know why. Take a listen, and you will, too. AC's professional and personal journeys are marked by curiosity, humility, and an eagerness to tackle big problems. After graduating from Amherst College, she held a variety of different jobs, but HIV test counseling piqued her interest enough to propel her to medical school. She studied neuroinfectious diseases, earned a Fulbright scholarship that took her to Kenya, and then joined the U.S. Army as an army civilian, becoming a senior clinical advisor for medical research and material command. It was in that role that she helped shape the Army's Covid-19 pandemic response. Today, she's senior medical director for Denali Therapeutics, a company that's focused on defeating neurodegenerative diseases. In this episode, we talk about: How testing patients for HIV in the mid-'90s led AC to pursue medicine What she learned while helping lead medical preparedness and innovation at the U.S. Army during Covid-19 Why she still hasn’t found her destination professionally, and why that’s not a bad thing The role Amherst played in shaping her journey—and the faculty members who showed up for her at just the right time The classmates she hopes I’ll interview next To get in touch with Ana-Claire, find her on Link
