Knight Talk

First off, we would both like to thank Ryan and Josh for allowing us to run Knight Talk. This is a quick episode to get to know us and what our goals for the year are. Please reach out with any feedback or ideas. Thank you!

We are finally back after a long time away from the show! Josh and I are excited to be back on the Pod and want to finish out the podcast as we head off for senior projects in a few weeks. While this week does not host a specific guest, Josh and I are using it as a way to get back into the swing of things. Hopefully you enjoy our conversations while random, they might provide some sort of learning experience to you.

WE ARE BACK!! After a long two weeks of illness and senior stuff, Knight Talk is back in action! This week we interviewed PCD board members Kate Farrington and Pat McQuade, both members of the mysterious board of trustees, a panel of Alumni and Parents that help guide the school in the right direction during tough situations. The podcast today hopes to shine light on what the trustees are and what they do.

Welcome back to Knight Talk! Today I interviewed one PCD hockey player, Nolan Lambert, and another Saint Raphael Hockey player, Tim Cedergren. Both are captains of the BVS hockey team, a co-op hockey team where multiple high school teams combine to make one massive hockey team. We went into depth about the success of the program in recent years, and how they plan to rewrite the past in this year's playoff run.

Today we interviewed Mr. Clarkson, a beloved teacher and mentor to many at PCD. He talked about his own PCD experience, one that was a student driven and a work hard, play hard atmosphere. We also explored the recent success of Mr. Clarkson as a coach, and how it takes grit to push through the tough times in life. However, if it is stuck with, it can also reap the best rewards.

Knight Talk is back! This interview we brought on our two school presidents, who built off our conversations on last week's podcast, which stressed the message of much needed school spirit. We also touched on the lasting legacy that the class of '25 wants to leave PCD with going forward. While we may jump around to different topics in this episode, one thing is for certain. That the seniors are returning to field day to participate in the games one last time.

Welcome back to PCD Knight Talk, where today we have Mr Thomas on as our first guest of 2025! We go into depth about his own mentality to life and how he translates it into his own classroom when teaching. We also discuss what PCD needs to do to start building a more powerful and school spirit driven atmosphere in terms of sports as a small private school.

Tune in this week as Josh and I bring on two signed athletes in the 2025 class, Maggie and Mia. They talk about their excitement to continue their athletic careers at Sacred Heart University, and how they navigate challenges and sacrifices to be able to get an opportunity to play at the college level. Even when a fire alarm cut our interview short, we were still able to get a lot of insight on how these two student athletes go about their day, and what they are most excited about on starting their college athletic careers.

This week we interviewed two captains of the PCD Basketball team, who gave us some insight on the upcoming season and how they will adjust to a new division this year.

In this episode of Knight Talk we discuss the upcoming changes to phone policy. Join us as we get two different perspectives on the issue, Calvin Colby and Mr. Roderick. Listen as they give their reasoning, and stay tuned till the end to get a sneak peek of what the new policy will look like.
