Love, List College
Love, List College is a podcast about students and their stories — and the quiet but profound role that List College played in shaping them. Hosted by Devin Leslie, a 2026 graduate of the Joint Program, the show gathers these connections for the first time and brings them to the wider community: students, alumni, faculty, and staff alike. Each episode is a chance to hear how a place and the people in it can become something much more — a source of connection, meaning, and ultimately, love.

Daniel (LC ‘03) and Anya Barak (LC ‘03)
