    The Fundamentals of Fighting Games With Gavin
    (Submitted for the 6th Annual New York Times Student Podcast Contest)
    Hi everyone and welcome to The Fundamentals of Fighting Games Podcast. Every week we talk about certain components of fighting games. We would go over important parts of this genre such as patch notes, character balance, character archetypes, system mechanics,  and more. I have always been a fan of this genre from the time I was 6 years old. I’ve played multiple fighting games since then and look forward to sharing with you tips, tricks, news, and more! In this episode, I'll give you insight into power levels and how a character can appear to be overpowered like Metaknight in Super Smash Bros.

    Welcome to Behind the Blue where we talk about drama and past experiences that we had in our lifetime.

    The Beginner's Guide To Wasting Time by Raymond

    (Submitted for the 6th Annual New York Times Student Podcast Contest)


    Video Games have long been viewed as a waste of time or beliefs that there are connections to violence. Even in 2023 many negative arguments remain regardless of having been debunked countless times. I'm going to give it another try to convince listeners that Video Games are perhaps not truly a waste of time.

    Unintended Racism in Schools by Kenneth

    (Submitted for the 6th Annual New York Times Student Podcast Contest)


    What happens when students encounter racism that is unintended? Can comments that generalize still be hurtful when they first appear complementary? Do these continued beliefs later set us up for disappointment, frustration or sadness? These are my experiences growing up with Asian heritage among my peers.

    History Going Viral by Loucas

    (Submitted for the 6th Annual New York Times Student Podcast Contest)


    Throughout the many decades of human history, war has always been a substantial and critical part of human history, shaping nations and human culture, forcing technological advancements at the cost of human life and the loss of years of knowledge from the burning of the archives in Alexandria to the sacking of Baghdad. However, no human creation nor man’s greed for blood could compete with the one true killer. Created by nature, smaller than even a cell, and so simplistic it could be considered not even alive, the virus.
