Walk the Way

The English 101 Experiment by Monica Mankin

Episode notes

Season 3 opens with a powerful conversation rooted in the quote that begins every English 101 semester: As you walk upon the way, the way appears.” Monica and Mason talk with former student Mo Cataland about how her “way” unfolded in class through her independent project, Breaking the Boulder—a podcast exploring addiction, stigma, and the science of recovery. Mo shares how the non-traditional approach of the ENGL 101 Experiment helped her discover her own style and voice, tools she now carries into her other courses and beyond. This episode sets the tone for the season, exploring how new paths take shape only as we begin to walk them.
