Welcome back to school! Season 2 of THSL starts with an interview in Toronto, Canada (recorded back in July). My guest for this episode was Jon, a student services professional at the post-secondary level.

- Helping students make a transition (for teachers) - the right kind of workload

- Helping yourself make a transition (for students) - lifestyle, academics, social stuff

- Specific information from a professional: Transitions for international students (tl;dr - if you need help, ask!)

Some issues I had in this episode that you might notice: I just got these sweet tube pre-amps not an hour before I recorded this (yay, no more fuzz), but I got the settings wrong (boo, still fuzzy-sounding, for the moment). Also, still working on getting the audio levels right when mastering. Next session, I've got my fingers crossed for a fuzz-free listening experience. Tune in next episode!
