Hello, world! Lovely to come out of hibernation for a quick second to post our collaboration episode with UREC and their Project Positive Campaign: Soothe Your Soul! Join the podcasters as we talk about things that soothe our soul in hopes of sharing with and inspiring our listeners on ways they may cope with anxiety during these times. Take a look at UREC's Project Positive Campaign happening until 3/6/22 and other related events. And a shout out to Sara Janosik from UREC for reaching out to the Writing Center in the first place. Feel free to check out the podcast's previous episodes on self care (found here and here!). We apologize for the lack of updates as being students means being busy! But do not fret, we are looking forward to continuing Season 6 when we get back from the break! :)

Here are the articles Eleanor has kindly researched for us!

Hello, world! The podcast thanks you for your patience as we navigate through finals and breaks and whatnot. For our last episode of the season, we asked you, the listeners, questions for us to answer! Whether it was advice, icebreakers, or deeper questions, we've enjoyed talking through them and hope that you did too! Remember, our answers are meant for fun and no intention to give advice that would put someone in danger. They are reflective of us only, the Podcast Team, and unrelated to Seattle U Writing Center and the Seattle U institution. Additionally, there are some hard topics later on in the episode regarding a question when dealing with hopelessness. If you are or a loved one are experiencing depression, we recommend signing up for Seattle U's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) or seeking professional advice more accessible and available to you. Unfortunately, the Podcast Team will be on hiatus will the start of Winter Quarter, but we wish you a lovely holiday season and cannot wait for Season 6!

Here are the Podcast Team's Favorite Books (as promised)

Kimberly: Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse (Reader, it WAS Rebecca)

Maddy: Harry Potter Series

Eleanor: Jane: A Murder by Maggie Nelson and the Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins

Ali: An Ember in the Ashes Series by Sabaa Tahir

Hello, world! It is time for the Podcast's annual spooky episode and this year, the HATWC team decides to talk about their own Halloween supernatural stories, our costumes, and more importantly, read an excerpt of SU's own Ben Colby's ~spooky tale~ (Check out Ben's story from last year's episode about astronauts!). Be sure to read the rest of Ben's story through the link below. Keep an eye out for our upcoming "Hoot & A" episode where the podcast team adapts a "Dear Abby" column-esque style and give unsolicited advice to YOUR questions! Thanks so much for your patience as we, college students, try and balance life and publishing dates. We love you and Happy Halloween! (Are those Christmas bells we're hearing?)

Hello again, world! We’ve all had arguments. Whether it’s been verbal banter or written in a thesis formatted paper, we’ve all likely had to argue and prove our point using different techniques. Today, the Hoo’s at the Writing Center Podcast team defines and explains a few of these techniques taken from Christopher Dwyer’s 18 Common Logical Fallacies and Persuasion Techniques, as well as our own experience. Sit back, relax, and listen as the team discusses the art of arguing!
