Every year, Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism selects one senior to host its prestigious flagship podcast. This year, they choose two. Y/N and Grant Hayes have spent four years competing for the same grades, internships, and opportunities, disagreeing on nearly everything along the way. She’s meticulous and methodical. He’s spontaneous and fearless. Co-hosting the Wildcat Wire is supposed to launch both of their careers—but first, they have to survive working together. Between late-night editing sessions, impossible deadlines, and interviews that don’t always go according to plan, rivalry slowly gives way to respect, friendship, and feelings neither of them expected. As graduation approaches, they’ll discover that the most important story they tell all year isn’t the one they broadcast—it’s the one unfolding between them.
