"Study Break" with Mayor Pete

NPR
About this episode
"Study break" is back with a special guest! This Friday at 12 PM CT, you can hang out with former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. (And us!)

Save this Google document. At 12 PM CT on Friday, we'll drop a Zoom link. The first 10 people to click on it will be in a Zoom call with Mike, Ian, Heena and Pete (am I allowed to call him that?). Come with all your questions for fmr. Sec. Buttigieg, silly or serious, from "what's your skincare routine?" to "no, seriously, how is your skin so clear?"

In the meantime, if you want your question answered in season two, email us at howto@npr.org. No question is too weird.

See you soon!
