Image: NPR US · original report

Two elementary school students in Columbus, Ohio, have created a podcast in which they ask adults why they chose their careers. NPR says children are commonly asked what they want to be when they grow up, while the pupils reversed that question. The source does not name the students or describe their guests.

Two elementary school students in Columbus, Ohio, have turned a familiar question about future careers toward adults for a podcast, NPR US reports. Children are often asked what they want to be when they grow up. The pupils instead ask adults why they chose the jobs they have, reversing the usual direction of the conversation.

The supplied material describes the project as a podcast but does not name the students, identify their school or say how the programme began. It also provides no details about the adults interviewed, the occupations discussed or the number of episodes produced. Their questions and the answers they received are not included in the source material.

NPR presents the project as an example of two young students asking grown-ups about their career choices. No further information is available about the podcast’s distribution or audience.
