BEHIND THE COLUMN | April 2021

In the Senior Class’s final cycle of the newspaper, Managing Editor Siddhartha Sinha opens the podcast with newly named Issues Editor Myles Lowenberg to reflect on a column he wrote in March about Fight Club and its relevance to today’s world (2:00). Then, it’s on to Brand Manager Cooper Ribman, who spends his first and only appearance on the podcast to address Stanford University’s recent decision to discontinue their wrestling program (12:15). In a turn of events, Opinions Editor Alam Alidina returns to interview Managing Editor Siddhartha Sinha about his column on his identity, language and codeswitching (24:05), but Sid takes his hosting chair back just in time for Managing Editor Jamie Mahowald’s piece on one of the most decorated water bottles in the world (44:00). And to bring it home, Senior Editor Cristian Pereira talks about the people who have made his St. Mark’s experience special...and provides an unexpected UNC update (58:30).
