The People Of Colby College

Collins Kibet '22

If I were to pick one person at Colby for anyone to sit down and have a dinner with, it would be Collins Kibet. He's a rising junior, a member of the cross country team, and is involved on things in campus that I'm still not aware of, because we didn't get to talk about it! Why? Because his backstory is so interesting and unique. He's from Kenya, born in a more developed part and raised in a farming community.  We talk about that, as well as starting with some current issues at Colby. I hope he can come back on the future, as I feel like we could talk for days.  Enjoy :)

Eli Zibello '22

The first *real* one! Eli Zibello is one of my close friends at Colby College, and a talented drummer, so I've jammed with him through the Colby Music Incubator (CMI) a ton. He and his band, Topsy, just released their first album, Hipster Dufus, which I adore. Everyone should definitely check it out on Spotify. On top of that, Eli is one of the chillest guys I know, and he seems to just go with the flow, which I honestly admire so so much. We talk about everything from Bruce Springsteen to quantum physics to the current outlook on returning to Colby's campus. It's a wide ranging conversation, that's for sure. Enjoy :)

Nick Peterson '22 (Trial Episode)

The first one! I couldn't think of a better guest than Nick. I didn't write down any questions for him beforehand, because I knew I didn't have to. Every conversation I have with Nick is substantive and thoughtful, and this one was no different. We talk about his road trip across America, how we both are starting to turn out like our parents, his newfound aversion to living a normal 9-5 job, and loads of other rambling. Some of it is just that, rambling, but some of it is good too! Enjoy :)
