Summary
Lily Brennan ’25 transformed a Trinity University Press marketing internship into a full-time role after creating and hosting the Tripod podcast, which connects readers with authors, books, and the San Antonio community.

Lily Brennan ’25 began her journey with Trinity University Press in August 2022, when she landed a marketing internship with the press as a sophomore. While coordinating the press’s social media and events, Brennan was struck with the idea to develop a podcast for the press to market its books and connect with its reader community. She pitched the concept to Burgin Streetman, the assistant director at the time and current editor-at-large, who was instantly taken with the idea.

Shortly after, Brennan took up the mic as the producer, editor, and host of Tripod, the Trinity University Press podcast, which captivates and enlightens listeners about their favorite press publications and authors and the greater San Antonio community. 

Brennan became Tripod’s executive producer after graduating from Trinity this May. She has interviewed Trinity professors and authors Michael Fischer, Ph.D., Andrew Porter, MFA, and Kelly Grey Carlisle, Ph.D., with more to come in the future!
