The Street View Podcast Team catches up on the past year and what the future holds for the podcast and the library's Homeless Engagement Initiative. Rashad reflects on how much life has changed since the podcast started almost two years ago, how much the library has meant to him in that time, and his inner conflict about currently being stable and "selfish." The future of the podcast is up in the air as Rashad debates whether or not it would be best to "hand over the mic" to someone else next season.
