It's Monday, October 2nd, 2023 and welcome to the October edition of Hills Review -- the High School East Student Podcast.

This Tuesday, Jessica Loewy explores the benefits of physical exercise. In this opinion piece, she argues that exercise not only helps physical health, but also improves self esteem, mental health and overall well being.

On Wednesday, Asiya Hasanoff speaks with her grandmother, Maghfrat Tursonzadah who, as a housewife and a mom of four, became a refugee in the early 80s after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan.

On Thursday, Jack Goldfried, Ayman Hassan and Hamza Siddique discuss Khaled Hosseini's realistic fiction novel: A Thousand Splendid Suns. The novel is a mother-daughter story and the second novel by the author of The Kite Runner.

Everyone collects things, whether you realize it or not. Even if you don't have anything to put on display, you collect thoughts and memories throughout your entire existence. This Friday, Jalen Griffiths takes a closer look at the role mementos play in people's lives.

Hills Review is produced by members of the Podcasting and Filmmaking Club. If you are interested in becoming a contributor, see Mr. Beatty in room 216.
