Earlier this spring, Ron Nirenberg '99 sat down with Lily Brennan '25 (right), the executive producer of Trinity University Press's Tripod podcast, to discuss his new book and the importance of learning about and connecting with your local community.
To me, the essence of both journalism and public policy is to believe in and appreciate the dignity of other people regardless of how different they are from you … Difference is what makes us strong. It's what makes life worth living."
- Ron Nirenberg '99 on Trinity University Press's Tripodpodcast
