From the Archives: She Dares to Be Different

Music legend, Janis Joplin spent a little over a semester as a longhorn in 1962. She was a part of the budding counterculture scene in Austin and even attended a UT football game. In this episode, author Holly George Warren and former Daily Texan reporter, Pat Sharpe give insight into how the 40 acres may have felt to Joplin. But how did her experience compare to current student musicians on campus? Produced by Addie Costello, Arjun Hegde, Jackie Ibarra, Will LeHardy, Anna Kay Reeves, and Aurora Berry. Music by Hall Johnson, Lainey Gonzales, and Blue Dot Sessions.
