Business reporter Stewart Yerton and education reporter Suevon Lee join the Pod Squad to discuss their new roles at Civil Beat.

Both reminisced about the most memorable stories they ever worked on during their journalism career. For Suevon, that was a 2007 profile of controversial Washington, D.C. school chancellor and ed reformer Michelle Rhee. Stewart recalled an out-of-the-box investigative series he produced for the New Orleans Times-Picayune about the commercial trade in human cadavers.
