This week on Cherry Street Chat, it's... the last week of Cherry Street Chat. Not forever, but for a while. We've got a new host lined up, and after his dramatic introduction, we get into an interview with our graduating seniors here at The Spectator. Austin, Caleb, Chloe, Daniel, Madi, and Zam sit down to chat with next year's podcast host, Diego Dumlao, and next year's Editor-in-Chief of The Spectator, Leila Bunker. This is a record-breaking episode for us: the most guests in a single episode, the longest episode ever, and it also cements Zam Ortega as the person with the most guest appearances on Cherry Street Chat. Don't miss Zam's INCREDIBLE animated Cherry Street Chat logo right at the start. It is amazing and so are they. This one was a little emotional but unfortunately (maybe for some, mercifully) our camera had an issue this episode and cut out the last 15 minutes or so. This is a special episode (though every one is special to us) and we thank you for watching it.

This week on Cherry Street Chat, we have two very special guests: Zam Ortega and Ian Van Eeuwen. These two are very special to us because they are fans of Cherry Street Chat! Our first fans. How lovely. Anyways, I've buried the lede; Zam is also very beloved by all of us at Cherry Street Chat because she is The Spectator's Lead Designer and created the adorable cherry logo you see at the beginning, end, and middle of every episode! Did you ever notice the little hearts in the cherries? So cute. Zam and Ian are fourth-year design majors who came on the show to promote their upcoming design exhibition, Layer By Layer. They are the co-directors of the exhibition. We also have a spectacular Pictionary segment at the end... this is one of my favorites that we've done so far.Layer By Layer opens April 24 with a reception from 4:30-7:30pm at the Vachon Gallery at Seattle University. The exhibition will run through May 14, 2025 and features the work of 18 designers from the 2025 design cohort.

Nathan Shiraki, the Lū'au logistics chair, Lauren Marie Jose, the club historian, and Kylie Wong, the Lū'au food co-chair, sit down with Caleb to talk about this event and about the club. We also learn a fun fact that even the most dedicated CSC listeners have never before heard: Caleb is from Minnesota!

This is a special one. For the season finale of the first season of Cherry Street Chat, Caleb sat down with two members of Seattle University's Society of Women Engineers (SWE, rhymes with 'tree'). Enya Pu and Lexi Huwiler, two third-year civil engineering majors, came by to share about the work that SWE does to support women in engineering. This episode was also a record-breaker, with the highest-ever budget for a Cherry Street Chat episode. We spent a total of $5.63 on our final segment of season one.

Kenny Ishikawa and Sam Kane join us on Cherry Street Chat this week. Both are utility players on the Seattle U baseball team, meaning they can pitch, they can hit, and we now know they can podcast... is there anything they can't do?
