Podcast: The secret of Jon Testa
Wherein I uncover the secret of Jon Testa, student and pot smoker.
Excerpt:
In class one day, I show my students a video. I ask them, has anyone seen this video before? And one student, this 5th year senior named Jon Testa, says, “Yes.” And it’s kind of a rare video, not rare exactly, but definitely avant-garde, so I say, “Oh? When did you see it?” And I can tell he’s thinking hard and he answers, “Five years ago.” So, in other words: when he was a freshman.
Now this kid, Jon Testa, is a scruffy fellow. He’s not the stupidest kid in my class – that would be Bethany Pinkus – but he’s not exactly imbued with a sterling work ethic either.
