From student life and seasonal depression to Native history and DJs, this retrospective episode highlights the wide range of voices and conversations from the past few months. 

First, we hear two stories from former reporter Bianca Caputo, recorded just before her graduation from the University of Minnesota. Next, Hayden Lessiter examines Native history and the deeper conversations surrounding Thanksgiving and Columbus Day that often go beyond what many of us were taught growing up. Then, Alexandra Denisova looks into the ongoing debate around Daylight Saving Time and how seasonal depression affects Minnesotans in unexpected ways. To close out the episode, we’re sharing a clip from Mary Lucia, longtime Twin Cities radio personality. After returning to radio as Radio K’s program advisor in 2024, Lucia shares advice and reflections with the next generation of student DJs.
