Steven and Albert went to Fright Fest 2016 at the Casa Bella dorms to celebrate Halloween and also to get an annoying ghost out of Albert's house.

Something I've learned from this episode: Drink some water after eating and before conducting an interview. Seriously, sorry for the scruffy throat, but that didn't change my interest in this interview with Carlos Vasquez and Tiffany Nerio; really cool people with real talent. My passion for singing and choir has definitely been rekindled as well as a great appreciation for clarinet players. MUSIC sombre green - Birocratic Three Pieces for Clarinet - Igor Stravinsky Una Furtiva Lagrima - Luciano Pavarotti

First off, apologies for the wind in some sections. Second of all, It’s National Bullying Prevention Month, so we went on campus to get your stories about getting bullied. While some were light-hearted, others were a bit more serious. If you see bullying happening, don’t be a bystander, help out and let some one know or provide support!

First things first, Steven and I are not British/Australian explorers, we are students at UTRGV. Second of all, we had a blast editing and recording this episode at the REC in Brownsville, we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed editing it.

This episode was a really fresh take for me. I interviewed my three friends (Damien, Valerie and Cass) about their relationships past and present. This was really fun to edit and listen to, hopefully you guys enjoy it.

Nostalgia is a tricky thing, we wish we were younger, but we're better off grown-up. Either way, we're sacrificing something: our time or our freedoms. I spoke to Alissa, a computer science major about her experiences with nostalgia and I ended up having a more positive outlook on being a grown-up vs. wishing I was a kid again. MUSIC: ergo- birocratic nesting- birocratic

Many people know the amusement park, but do you know about the six flags that have ruled Texas throughout its history?
