Is college still worth it? And how do we know when something is worth leaving the familiar behind?
On this Monday edition of Daybreak, we look ahead to the Newman Guide Virtual College Fair and the bigger question behind choosing a college: not simply what an education costs, but what—and who—it is for.
Then we head into the Listening Room for Listen with Gilbert: The Hobbit Comes to Radio, exploring the BBC’s remarkable 1968 radio adaptation of Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Bilbo would much rather remain comfortably at Bag End, of course. Fortunately for the rest of us, he opens the door.
Along the way: Catholic education, vocation, adventure, BBC radio, and why a dragon heard through a loudspeaker might sometimes be more frightening than one seen on a screen.
Daybreak comes to you from The Little Station on Commercial Street—a good story from the schools, a wider view of the day, and a thought worth carrying into it.
