episode 23: S02E23: Alex Boylan - From the Amazing Race to the collegiate rat-race.


Any parent of a high schooler can tell you how overwhelming and stressful college selection is.  From trying to choose where to go, to what to study, and all of the test, essays, recommendations, and more that go into that application it is overwhelming.  Rising instances of depression, anxiety, and even suicide within adolescence have been linked to the increasingly competitive nature of college admissions.  Beyond that, we have the recent scandals with celebrities and the super-rich buying their way into top universities.  Parents and educators alike are desperate for a better way.  A way that gives students a real impression of what college life is like and helps them plan for where they might want to go without the eye-watering expense of college tours, or the pressure of unrealistic expectation.  Enter The College Tour.  

In this newest endeavor, television veteran Alex Boylan (season 2 winner of the Amazing Race!) follows the real stories of real students from all backgrounds and walks of life in real universities.  The show deep dives into their path to university, and life once they arrive.  It gives perspective families and students an little glimpse behind the glossy guide books and into what real life on campus looks like.  Starting out as a personal passion project for Alex trying to help his niece pick the school for her, it's now in its 5th season and covers schools of all shapes and sizes from across the country.

In this week's episode Alex talks about the show, but also about the realities of life in television (the good and the bad).  It's a fascinating conversation that will leave you wanting to learn more about him and The College Tour.  Here's a few places you can look:
