PaltzCast

Our series is about the different hot takes sports fans across campus (including us) have, and we will debate if we agree on it or not. This show fits because sports media is a big part of sports nowadays and it would be engaging to get different sports opinions. The goal is not just to entertain, but to reveal how perspectives differ across the sports community.

In this episode we cover the recent non-renewal of Professor Anthony Dandridge’s contract for the fall semester and the consolidation of the Black Studies Department, Latin Caribbean & Latinx Studies, Asian Studies, and Women Gender and Sexuality Studies into one multicultural department. With this news, we wanted to look at the impact this has had on students and the campus at large. This isn’t just a New Paltz issue, however, as numerous institutions around the country have begun to make changes to their cultural departments due to the recent crackdown on DEI in higher education by the Trump Administration. Through the lens of Hip Hop in activism we tell the story of what happens when an institution makes changes to its curriculum based on politics and national trends.

In this episode of Homesick we talk about being transfers and interview a transfer student and how we like/dislike campus and our experiences with things like roommates and classes.

Transfer students have different lives and we dive deep into what it's like moving into a place where you know absolutely no one and you just have to adapt to a brand new life and routine; meeting strangers and living with them!

In this installation of Forgotten Fairytales, we explore neglected 19th century writer Mary de Morgan and one of her stories. The Toy Princess follows a princess who grew up away from her kingdom, returning to discover that her father has replaced her with an enchanted, wooden look-alike. What's more, the people of the kingdom much prefer this living doll–– that is complacent and quiet––to the real princess, who has real emotions and opinions. After our re-creation of the tale, join us for a conversation with dramaturg and theatre professor Caitlyn Halvorsen!

In this episode listeners will discover what the “hidden curriculum” really is: the unspoken rules and dynamics that shape life for Black and POC students and faculty at a PWI (Predominately White Institution). From how representation impacts the academic experience to why the Black Studies Department matters, we will dive into perspectives that are often overlooked.

Reel Talk is a podcast heavily focused on the film Industry. In each episode, a guest speaker comes on to discuss their work, how they got their start in the industry, offer any words of advice and/or support for our listeners as well as the hosts, and to answer any other questions said hosts may have for them.

This week, the featured guest was Gregory Lerzundi Van Voorhis, a local horror film director from Westchester New York who recently released an independent horror film titled "The Pitchfork Retreat". The film, which released in 2025, centers around Matt, Mandy, and Nikolai, all of whom journey to a secluded island retreat for a life-changing competition. However, the prize comes with a high cost, as the trio soon realizes that there is nowhere to hide when the darkness from within comes to light. In this episode, Gregory discusses with our interviewer Robbie about how he got his start working in the film industry, what drew him to working in the field, his love for the horror genre, and some advice that he had to share with our audience. Following the interview, our two hosts discussed the interview and the trailer for The Pitchfork Retreat. The hosts also made a top 5 horror movie list before the podcast concluded.

In this episode, we will be starting off with a music history lesson on electronic musician and pioneer, Wendy Carlos. Next, we'll have a conversation with electronic music composer and SUNY New Paltz professor, Bob Lukomski, about how he found his passion for electronic music, and how he finds creative inspiration for his projects. Finally we'll wrap up with a review of David Byrne's very interesting cover of "drivers license" by Olivia Rodrigo.

Have you ever heard a story so weird or unbelievable, it just can't be true? On this episode of New Paltz's favorite game show, History Bluff, Mars will be covering two obscure historical events that you definitely weren't taught in your history class. First, a whale that exploded on the beach of a small city in Oregon, and then the Pepsi Philippines marketing campaign that led to riots and the death of at least five civilians. Play along with this episode's guests, Dom Cacchione, Krystal McAdams, and Corinne Stanton, as they try to decipher when Mars is ... or isn't ... lying about the history being told!!
