Greetings, adventures! Fancy an exploration quest through the Griffon’s Nest Tavern and the Irving Academy of Magic, do you? Grab your headphones and dive right in to
save UBC from a mysterious time spell! You best be quick; the clock’s ticking. Campus Clock Catastrophe is an interactive fantasy fiction podplay piece inspired by
Dungeons and Dragons. This episode by Michelle Bettauer focuses on a walkable path from the UBC Student Nest to the K. Irving Learning Centre Ridington Room and the Ladner Clock Tower. Listeners are encouraged to follow this route and complete quests along the journey that range from exploring extravagant tavern shops to escorting a pompous elf, to unlocking the mysterious of the Head Wizard’s study. What Do We Call This? is a podcast written by students of the UBC Creative Writing
program. Each piece focuses on exploring place and identity in a different way. This piece overlays a fantasy element overtop of UBC’s campus and allows its listeners to experience and explore UBC in a fresh way to see campus in a way they never have before.
