BEHIND THE COLUMN | March 2021

At long last, the man behind all of the columns — Opinions Editor Alam Alidina — joins the podcast to explain both his connection to an under-the-radar Leonard Cohen song and why there are so many music columns in this month's paper (1:45) before Assignments Editor Sai Thirunagari demonstrates his encyclopedic knowledge of One Direction, Eagles, Nirvana and more (14:40). To wrap up the music columns, Editor-In-Chief Robert Pou talks about artists and Marksmen alike dealing with the spotlight (33:20). As part of the cover story about mental health on campus, Perspectives Editor Luke Piazza draws upon his own experiences with procrastination and the Counseling Office (45:50), and in the home stretch, Senior Editor and podcast staple Cristian Pereira discusses his newfound passion of rock climbing and trying new things (57:45).
