This podcast is a conversation about music between me and my peers: August, Eliana, Izzy, and Matt. We discussed our favorite songs, artists, and musical opinions, then conducted a game show in which participants guessed the name of a variety of songs based only on the first ~10 seconds.

Today, I am joined by Elie Yoken, Izzie Doogan, Bodhi Kaainoa, and August Walrod to discuss hot takes. In this episode, we cover all of our unpopular opinions on a wide range of topics

Our questions and claims include:

• What’s the best vegetable?

• Catlin Gabel hot takes?

• Thoughts on the college process?

• Is running fun?

• Is it entertaining to watch sports/games?

• Best movies

• Pets!

• What’s up with awkward silence?

In today's episode hosted by August Walrod ‘26, Catlin Gabel guests Matt Woodard, Eliana Yoken ‘26, Bodhi Kaainoa ‘26 work together to figure out which language they are hearing from pre-recorded audios. A fun mix of competition, learning, and relaxed conversation listen along to test your own language deciphering skills!

We go deep on our favorite films and talk about movies in general. Topics include the animation styles of various studios, what we consider the most classic rom coms, and asking whether or not action movies need a plot.
