This week, we're joined by John Martino — a former Girard teacher who coached women's basketball and track from the early '90s until 1996. We talk about the friendships he built with fellow teachers, the students who became lifelong family, and what it meant to walk one of them down the aisle decades later. A reminder that the best teachers never really clock out.

In our season one finale, Rasool Berry (GC '95) reflects on life after Girard and the journey that led him to storytelling through film. From his early days navigating identity and purpose to becoming a documentary filmmaker, Rasool shares how his latest project, The Return, explores themes of belonging, history, and homecoming. It’s a conversation about legacy, creativity, and the power of reclaiming your narrative.

In the first half of our season one finale, we welcome Girard College alum Rasool Berry (Class of ’95), writer, speaker, and host of the acclaimed documentary Juneteenth: Faith & Freedom. Rasool dives into the archives with us, revisiting wild tales from past episodes and shedding new light on legendary mysteries—like what really happened to the Class of ’95’s beloved mascot, Russ. We reexamine stories told by his older brother, now hilariously reinterpreted with Rasool’s signature wit. But the real gems? Rasool’s own never-before-heard adventures that will leave you doubled over with laughter. It’s nostalgia, mischief, and storytelling at its finest—don’t miss it.
