From rap to R&B, English to Japanese, and metaphor to analogy, most, if not all, songs are a form of literature. Listen to Lucas, Irfan, Emery, and Caitlin as they discuss some of their favorite songs and the literary art behind each lyric, the deeper meaning in each bar, and how so many different literary devices can come together to create a deeper meaning in songs

To follow along with the theme of love in the month of February, join Irfan, Caitlin, Emery, and Lucas as they discuss the romance stories that have impacted them the most.

World Club members collaborate with Liham's FireLit to talk about history, or herstory, rather. We explore not just events that have let up to the empowerment of women now, as well as literary examples of women's stories.

Marny talks about how her interests changed from being STEM oriented to a humanities oriented person because of The House on Mango Street's mature themes.

Phoebe and Caitlin talk about how films and stories have helped them in their lives and what they made them realize.

In today's episode, our hearty conversation centers on the stories that healed us - whether they be stories that gave us comfort or redirected our perspectives on the matters of life. Joined by CJ, Marny, Sofia, and Caitlin, this quirky, laughter-filled episode is sure to keep our passion for the arts burning as 2023 begins.
