    The Confining Boxes of Society With Alyssa & Kristen

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


    Have you ever felt trapped and forced to act a certain way? Have you ever found yourself judging others before getting to know them? Today, Alyssa and Kristen discuss some of the stereotypes people tend to place on one another, and how to avoid doing so. Some of these topics that have become relevant in today’s society include but are not limited to gender, race, sexuality, and age.

  • S01E033: NY Times Podcast Submission - Silencing Women through Diagnoses: Female Hysteria and Psychiatric “Help” in History by Wenshu

    Silencing Women through Diagnoses: Female Hysteria and Psychiatric “Help” in History by Wenshu

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


    In psychiatric history, women have been silenced over and over. Because of the not-so-hidden misogyny in not only men, but society as a whole, the pain of women was often overlooked. I’ll be exploring the dehumanization and misdiagnoses/mistreatment of women that were deemed “insane” by doctors in the 18th to 20th century: lobotomies, psychiatric wards, and hysteria.

    Welcome back to Stream of Consciousness with Geeta and Christina. In this episode, we discuss social media and kick off our conversation with a few quotes. Instead of a typical reaction, we take a Buzzfeed Quiz titled, Which Social Media App Is Your Personality Best Suited For? Each episode is done at the moment and our reactions and exchanges are genuine with blind reactions. We hope you can sit back and daydream along with us.

    The Fundamentals of Fighting Games #001: Fighting Subgenres (Gavin)

    Hi everyone and welcome back to The Fundamentals of Fighting Games Podcast. This week we talk about the subgenres of fighters. There is a significant difference between 2D, 3D and 2.5D fighters. Some games even increase the speed while maintaining balance using a tag team system. 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 with you!

    #028: The GOATs #002: Open World - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Vs. Genshin Impact (Raymond)

    Welcome back to the Games of All Time Podcast. In this episode, Raymond explains how The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild & Genshin Impact are more than cell-shaded open-world games. These games can be calm one moment and then incredibly exciting the next. These two games look very similar, however, they are different in so many ways. When Raymond gets started, there's no slowing him down when it comes to breaking down the Games of All Time! We hope you enjoy the breakdown of what makes an open-world game so enjoyable.
